Crystal Reports Page Footer Problem

[pratik.best]

Hi, my problem is very simple yet interesting.
In Crystal Reports the page footer appear at the bottom of the page,
but I want it to appear just after the contents of the page. How can I
do that? Actually the problem is that I have created a software for a
pathology lab and the report requires signature on each page, yet the
signature should be just after last line on the page.
I cannot use group footer or report footer for this task. I have to
use page footer.

Please reply.

Why do you have to use the page footer? A group footer is designed to follow the
content, and a page footer is designed to go at the bottom of the page.

As I said I have to repeat signature on each page. The group footer
might sometimes repeat on the same page and sometimes a group might
take 2 or more page, thus appear after 2 or more pages.

Ah. Some report tools, don't know about Crystal, allow group headers and footers
to be repeated on each page. It is a property setting of the section. Maybe you
can find one of those?

I doubt you will find a way to get a page footer to move around on the page very
easily.

If it were me, I would have the signature at the top of each page, and tell them
"that's the way it is."

You are right. Crystal reports allows to repeat group header on each
page but not group footer and that's the problem.
