Incomplete Page Numbers when I save to pdf - what we see is, as usual, not what we get - Layouts

Hi Forum.

I have a good fun problem for y'all here.... :laugh2:

I generate a report in FM11 (Windows XP) and look at it in Preview Mode.

It has 106 pages and i can see them all in preview mode and scroll all the way to the last page.

My Report pages are numbered at the bottom it says on each page

"Page 33 out of 106"

"Page 34 out of 106"

"Page 35 out of 106"

etc

and the last page says

"Page 106 out of 106"

Now I do SAVE AS PDF from the Menu while in preview Mode.

My PDF is only 97 Pages long. The last page in the pdf says

"Page 97 out of 106"

All the information is in the pdf. I compared the screen output to the pdf. All the info is in the pdf, but in some instances, in the pdf it manages to get some text still on the same page at the bottom, but the preview mode shows that text on the next page already. So the preview mode doesnt get as much on one page as the pdf does. Plus the last page of the pdf makes my client think that there is of course info missing, ie the client thinks that theres now 9 pages missing in his report. (but in fact al the info is there).

Question - why is this? Why does the pdf look different to my preview?

Question - how can I ensure that whats on the screen is excatly like in the pdf?

Question - how can I ensure both the screen and the pdf have the same number of pages? Can I ensure that?

Thanks for any help
