I don't know if anyone else has run into this problem. I have a report
that I designed in a table format with several groups. The detail row
has a field that has no size limits. The field could basically contain
pages of text. It only seems to be a problem when the size of of the
field is larger than the size of a page when it is exported to a
PDF.
For some reason when the field cannot fit on one page nicely it causes
a page break after every row in the table. To clarify, this is not a
situation where the table has a bunch of detail rows on a page and the
last detail row is too large to fit on the page. That situation works
fine, a single page break occurs and the remaining text goes on a
following page. In this situation, the detail row itself cannot fit on
one page by itself. In this situation, each row in the table has a
page break after it. Its like RS can't handle it. Since I have about
12 rows in the table before the detail row, I have 12 pages with one
line of text on each page.
I'm not doing anything with rectangles, or trying to fit the contents
of the table on one page, or keep together. I have not seen much else
about this, but I can't believe that I'm the only person to encounter
this. Does anyone know why this is happening? Is this something that
only happens with tables? I really don't want to have to redesign this
report as a list format.
Any help would be appreciated.
