print beyond a fixed footer

[nilsfmp]

We are trying to design a printed report that has both a fixed header and footer (both size and location), and has a varying sized portal (single line to 100+ lines) that will force the footer to be carried on to additional pages.

Our problem is we want to keep the footer always at the bottom below a perforated line regardless of how many lines deep the portal field line items are (currently the footer moves to the point right below the portal), and we do not want the header appear on additional pages of the report. How do we do this?

You've not defined the footer as a "Footer" part. Footers don't slide up the page, but always appear at the same point on the bottom. Make sure you are using a "Footer" part. You can defne a different header for the first page and footer for the last page by using a "Title Header" and "Title Footer". Put your info in the Title Header and create a blank "Header" part.

I wouldn't use a portal to print. Print from the file displayed in the portal. You can bring any information you need from your current file to this related file by creating the necessary relationships.
