Singletons are displaying again when a list page breaks

I am creating a report that actually becomes a multi-page contract.  As in any contract, there are paragraphs of data that are standard and others that have variable information.  I also have a couple of lists that display some details in the contract/report.

I have each paragraph of information set up as a data item.  I then use singletons to display them on the report.  So, for example, I may have 7 singletons, a list, 2 more singletons, another list, a bunch more singletons.

My problem is that when a list has enough items in it to page break, all of the singletons previous to the list are repeated on the new page as well (interestingly, the previous list does not repeat). 

I originally had everything set up in one table.  I then switched to putting the singletons in blocks.  I've tried various things with different properties but am getting no where.

Would appreciate any ideas on this issue.

Thanks!

Hey I had exactly the same issue the other day and it took me a little while to solve it but I got there.


Put all your lists and singletons back into a table, if you like just make a copy of the report and try this.

If you select the table you should see an option under the properties pane, under general, select Pagination and uncheck the 'Repeat table rows on page break' and have the 'Allow row contents to break across pages' Checked.

Let me know how you get on and if that solves it for you.

I forgot to mention that it renders fine in HTML - the problem shows up in PDF.

Glad to help.

If you add 'Solved' to the front of your thread title that'd be great :) lets everyone know they can look here if they have a similar issue.
