     Posted: 22 Oct 2008 at 7:33am
I'm designing an Invoice to line up with a pre printed form. I need a page footer so that the line items don't print over comments are already on the pre printed form. I need the group footer to print at the bottom of the last page of the invoice.
 
I've tried a conditional suppress on the page footer.
 
pagenumber = totalpagecount
 
As a test I put some text in the page footer to make sure it was working. The text gets suppressed but there is still space at the bottom of the last page. I need the group footer to print there.
 
Any Ideas??

Is the group footer printing, just in the wrong place...not quite sure from you comments.
 
I haven't tried this, but if the group footer is printing, have you tried tell the report to print it at the bottom of the page(Section Expert)?
 
Just wondering.

Yes. When I do that it prints a new page and then prints the group footer at the bottom of the page. So it makes a 2 page invoice into a 3 page invoice where the 3rd page is just the totals.
 
The group footer is printing but its printing too high. On the last page I pretty much need the total 1 line up from the bottom of the page, But on all subsequent pages I  need there to be about a half inch of blank space.

Just went through the same thing.  Suppressing a footer seems to just not print what's in it without really removing the area it's reserving.  Instead, use the same conditional formula to suppress each field within the footer, and then set the footer for "Suppress Blank Section".  Worked for me.
