I need to redesign a PO which can contains 1 to 50 or more Po lines. The PO has a header and footer that needs to print on each page that has PO lines to print. The footer is about 2 inches. Once the PO's total is printed two more pages need to print that give the terms on one page and another page that gives delivery instructions. Both these pages need a full page. The footer even when suppressed keeps the area reserved and forces the information to print on two pages. How do I resolve this?

I tried your suggestion but my problem is the tallest footer is 2 inches. So how do I circumvent that?

Reserve Minimum Page Footer

This option enables you to minimize the space reserved for your Page Footer sections, thereby maximizing the space available for valuable report information on each page. This option only affects a Page Footer area with multiple sections.

By default, Crystal Reports reserves space at the bottom of each page for your Page Footer sections. This space is reserved whether or not the Page Footer sections are conditionally suppressed. Normally, the space reserved is equivalent to the combined height of all Page Footer sections that are shown or conditionally suppressed.

You can, however, minimize the space reserved. To do so, first conditionally suppress individual Page Footers as desired. Then select Page Footer in the Sections area of the Section Expert, and select the Reserve Minimum Page Footer option on the Expert's Common tab. When you do this, Crystal Reports will only reserve space on each page for the tallest of your Page Footer sections.

Note: This option appears only when you've selected Page Footer in the Sections list.

I tried what you suggested but if I do not make the footer tall enough it will not print. If it does print it reserves the space and does not leave room for the last two pages. Any other suggestions or white papers etc to resolve this?

Thanks

I have CR XI, a quick and dirty might be a subreport. You could put the footer in the subreport,. Put the sub report in the footer of the main report, and then supress it (the sub) when not needed.
