Problem with page breaks and large amount of text

What have folks here done with large amounts of text in a table with regard to page breaks? I've found that in a PDF the page break happens before the large block of text starts regardless of where it starts on the page. Even if there is 3/4 of the page empty it will always page break.

This also happens in preview mode in VS2003 as well. The weird thing is that the second page is very long, almost twice as long as the regular page. The third page is ok. This should be a 2 page report but because of the page break it's a 3 page report. I can post samples if required.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Here's an example. To illustrate, I'm just pulling back the Article Title and the Article Details. I made the table background dark just so to distinguish it from the rest of the page.

This is in VS2003 preview mode. Take a look at page 2. The page size is huge in comparison with the other pages.

Anyone else run into this?

If you ever resolved this I would be interested in your resolution as I am having a very simular issue.

Thank You

I have come up with a solution/workaround. Put all the tables into a List object. Then take the large text column out of the table and place it in the list object itself. As long as the large text column is NOT in a table but in a List object - it seems to work much better.

Problem with page breaks

Hello All,

I face the following problem.

I have a report with a list and under that list i have a table and a chart that sums the values from the dataset.

In my list properties i have set that their should be a page break after the list (meaning that my table and chart

should start a new page).

In my listgroup properties is hava also set a page break after each group.

Now when i preview my report in visual studio, the groupdetails are displayed in one page and the summed table and chart are on a second page. when i do a print preview, i get 3 pages but my sum table is on the second page under the last groupdetail and the chart is 3rth page.

When i publish my report on the reportserver and i do the same through my browser, i get the same error.

Why doesn"t the page break after each group doesn't work ?

Why does the page break after the list doesn't work ? is this a bug ?

Is there a way to set a pagebreak manually on the report for example in a hidden textbox ?

Any suggestions, tricks, help .....

Hello again ...

It seems i always find the answer to my proper questions .. but always when i have posted an item on this forum.

So i solved my problem based on the following article :

http://www.eggheadcafe.com/articles/20040823.asp

I draw a rectangle under my list and but my table and chart in this rectangle.

Then i set the PageBreakAtStart property to True.

This did the trick .... Isn't it simple ... if you know how to .....

Greetings

Vinnie

|||Hi Vinnie,

Thanks for this, I was also facing the same problem and tried exactly the same but this worked only first time. In the subsequent iterations of this report the rectangles start overlapping each other and I can't figure out why.
Do you have any suggestion for this?

Thanks
