I am running a compound PDF report, and I have a report footer on each report, and for some reason on the first report the Footing Bottom designation is not placing the footing on the actual bottom of the page. I do not have any bottom margin, and the same source code works on the other 2 reports and puts the footer on the bottom, but the first report footer is about 2 inches up from the bottom of the page. Can anyone offer me any advice? Thanks.

Hi Michele:

I just spoke to Product Management...We always liks to know what release you're using when you ask questions like this.

However, after review, it sounds like a problem that should be reported to Tech Support with a reproduction so that we can confirm if has been fixed as there have been fixes for Compound PDF in the 52x Service packs.

We recommend contacting our support personnel on issues like these that require more detail on your installed products, versions, and configuration.

I'm having the exact same problem...Was this ever resolved?

Thanks.

It seems to behave in WF 5.3.2:

-SET &ECHO=ALL;

USE
C:\ibi\apps\Samples\CENTORD.FOC
END
-RUN

SET PAGE-NUM=OFF
SET ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE
-RUN

-*-- Report 1 --------------------------

SET COMPOUND = OPEN
-RUN

TABLE FILE CENTORD

ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, FONT='Arial', SIZE=9, $

ENDSTYLE
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
END
-RUN

I was having this problem in WF7 and I added 'SET PRINTPLUS = ON' and the problem is no more.

'SET PRINTPLUS = ON

Thanks for your responses. Since I have been extremely busy I tried Guru's potential solution first, but PRINTPLUS does not support style sheets and all of my reports have style sheets attached.
Francis, my code is very similar to yours with FOOTING BOTTOM and the bottom margin set to 0.0. It almost appears as if the word BOTTOM has something to do with the problem, if I remove it behaves a little better, but I need that word in there. Please note that even though my code is copied throughout my reports, this problem only happens with a couple of them.
This appears to be a bug, I'm using WF7, Managed Reporting.

Hey - Only nine years too late! I had an issue with FOOTING BOTTOM in PDF also. My footing was always over-writing the last line of the report no matter how long the report was. SET PRINTPLUS=ON did the trick and now my footing is always at the bottom of the report.
