Can I set my subreport to print ONLY on certain pages? - acumatica

I created a Check Remittance and Form with 6 subreports. Subreports 1-3 print details for Checks 1-18, Subreports 4-6 print details for Checks 19-37. On the first page of my report I would like to have Subreports 1-3 printed and on the 2nd page I would like subreports 4-6 printed. I tried putting them in different GroupHeaders and set the visibilty expression to print just on page 1 and just on page 2 using the PrintIndex Globals but that didnt work. I wonder if I could put them all in the group header and set their visibility expressions using the PrintIndex globals to print only on page 1 or 2. Anyone have any ideas? I tried variables too... no luck. I must be doing something wrong.

I figured this out by moving everything over to 2 page header sections

Jasper-Reports - Pagefitting Subreport is split when included in Main Report

I am currently designing a report, that is supposed to use multiple subreports in the Detail Section of a main Report. I am at the very start and up to now have only left the Detail 1 and Page Footer Band for my main report, using Page X of Y in the Footer, and my first subreport in Detail 1.
I am using the A4 Landscape Page format for both reports.
My Subreport is currently containing a Title Band and a Detail Band.
Both reports use "select GetDate() as test" as their main Dataset, so that it's a single line, keeping the detail section from printing multiple times.
Each Element of my Subreport is using their own Dataset (2 lists, 1 Bar Graph)
The problem I have is that even though my Subreport fits my Page, as inis printed on single page when using preview, when i include it on my main report, it suddenly splits the Title and Details Band (I am not using "Title on a new Page") and puts the content on 2 pages.
Is there a way to force each Subreport to fill the exact space on the main report, as it does on it's own?
Edit 1: Additional Problem
The Preview of the Main Report doesnt Change when I modify the Subreport, it always shows an old Version of the Sub-Report
Re-Compiling the Subreport actually proved successfull as it updated what the main report showed, so it now fit the page.
I think there is two solution:
You can set splitType = Stech in band.
set RunToBottom = true flag in subReport

Enable Multi Page Sub report in Acumatica Report Designer

When a sub report spans on multiple pages, the main report looses all control of pagination. This results in the report cutting off at the end of the first page when in PDF mode.
Example:
Our invoices use multiple sub reports to get shipment and sales order details.
When the invoice gets emailed out by the system to customers, the data beyond the first page is missing.
Question: How can we get a sub report to display all the data it should?
Per Acumatica support we tried toggling "keep together" and adding a page break after, but it did not work.
Note that when printing the report in html display mode, the data does display correctly. It also displays correctly if we save as PDF via the browser print screen.
See images for illustration:
Here is the complete solution that worked and explanation (Based on Acumatica support response):
When a subreport is printed as a part of the main report, and the information in the subreport takes more than one page, the system does not break the page flow and prints all information in one long grid. When the report is exported to PDF, the information from the subreport is incomplete. The following steps will allow you to insert a page break in the subreport:
Place the Subreport is a separate GroupHeaderSection
Allow some space between the Subreport control and the section borders
Allow Space
In the GroupHeaderSection properties tab, set the Keep Together parameter to False
GroupHeader Params
Set the PageBreak parameter to After, so that the Subreport Page Footer is printed as the last line of the Subreport
PageBreak result
The next section of the main report will start on the following page.>
Maybe you can try the following:
go to the master report rpx file and find the section where you put the master report.
And then find the KeepTogether attribute under Behavior, and set it to be false.
Please let me know if it works.

Excel table Page Wrap

I am trying to create a calendar in Excel for staff holidays (4 persons). But when I print the calendar it will be cut (more pages printed) and when I resize it, it will be too small to read.
So i want to change this:
To this:
This is just for printing.
Any tips would be highly appreciated.
Set the Margins to Narrow using Page Setup
Go to View - Page Break Preview.
Adjust the Blue lines so that the page doesn't cut the edges of the months but does give you a reduced number of pages
It is probably unlikely that you will get it to print on one page without it being too small. Unless you can print on to A3 paper.

ssrs 2008 r2 pdf blank pages

I have report with dynamic-width list which when exported to pdf has every second page blank. I followed instructions given here, squeezed everything as hard as I could - and it worked. However I also have footer inside which I have horizontal line that should continue through whole page width. If I make it long I have every second page blank, if I make it short - it stays that short. Also suppose I need to have textbox at the far right corner of a page, which again would make blank pages in pdf to appear. Is there any solution to this?
One thing I have found useful to diagnose exactly why SSRS is generating blank pages, is to set the background of the report (or report elements) to a non-white color. Generate the report again, then you can usually see what is being spilt over into another page. You can usually figure out what SSRS is doing, and tweak your report accordingly.
Set the report property ConsumeContainerWhitespace to True. I believe the default is false, so if you didn't think to ltrim(rtrim()) in your dataset, something I often forget to do, then the whitespace could be causing it.
For the line, if it is simply to separate the footer from the body of the report, try selecting the entire footer row and set the BorderStyle-Top property to Solid instead of having a line.
For the text box, it has to be entirely within the page dimensions or you will get a second mostly blank page. Left margin + right margin + report width <= page width. On one of our printers this still isn't enough so we have to reduce the right margin by another 0.05cm more (so 0.45cm instead of 0.5cm which it should be) to stop getting blank pages every second page.

How to force a textbox to split, rather than move to a second page in SSRS 2005 (PDF Export)?

This question is a follow up to my original question, I've done a bit more reseach, i narrowed a problem down quite a bit.
I've also uploaded a sample .rdl to illustrate the problem
I've got the following report setup: a header (image in the body), two textboxes, and a footer.
First textbox has a little bit of text, and second textbox has lots of text. Second textbox can fit on one page by itself, but won't fit on the page with my header and the first textbox.
The problem is that for some reason, the second textbox in the report is unaware of other contents of that same report, and as long as that one textbox fits on one page - it will be moved to the second page. (once the textbox grows larger than 1 page - it will split, and will achieve the desired behavior)
Desired behavior is to split the second textbox, and keep as much text on the first page as possible, and move the rest to the second page.
I'm not sure about v.2005 but in v.2008 you can set a textbox property: KeepTogether to false.
This will fit as much text on the first page than the rest on the second page.
This is pretty standard behaviour in SSRS. Like many issues with the Reporting engine, you have to trick it.
In this case you could try to provide the 'lines' for the second text box as individual rows in a Detail, then use a repeater or table to display them. Alternatively you could break on 'paragraph'. Unfortunately you'll have to do this in your data source, probably in a stored procedure, depending on how you're getting the data to the report.
If appropriate you could look at client-side reporting (.rdlc files), which allows you to pre-process the data in a .NET application, although setting up for printing can be more complex.
