Invoice Print Layout Issue

Featured Replies

Hi All,

Okay, I have an invoice print layout (table is InvoiceLineItems) that's structured like this:

• Header (logo, phone numbers, address, invoice date, salesman, ship method etc)

• Body (containing only the line items data)

• Trailing grand summary (totals, places for writing hand-written notes, a spot for a graphic, spot for signature)

• Footer (Pg X of X)

Basically, the trailing grand summary contains a lot of things (that can't be removed or re-sized) that need to be there, but there's one problem: When I have more than 5 line items, the trailing summary will no longer fit on the page, and being all one big chunk, it gets pushed onto the next page leaving a big white space on the first.

When I first ran into this problem I thought: okay, I'll just separate the various bits of the trailing grand summary part into MULTIPLE trailing grand summary parts so that I could at least fit something on the page so it didn't look ridiculous. Unfortunately, you can't create multiple trailing grand summaries and footers don't do the trick (I don't need something at the end of every page, I need something at the end of the last page)

Anyone got a clever trick for me here?

Thanks.

I suppose you could script it to go to different layouts depending on the number of line items.

Or consider using a title header or footer instead, and push the extra line items to page two, rather than the footer. It seems to me this is a fairly common practice, based on the bills I get from utilities, credit cards, etc.

When you say it "can't be resized", are you referring the "sliding and visibility" or something else? If not that, then perhaps have a look at that so you can close up your empty area, aka. "resize enclosing part". But if you've done this, my apologies.
