Title: SOLVED: Formatting repeater block on a .pdf report
Post by: Linda_B on 24 Jun 2016 11:22:10 AM
I have a report with receipts in a 1 across, 3 down direction (3-up buckslip) meant to print on scored 8.5 x 11 paper. 

I'm using a repeater report exporting to .pdf, however I can't get the text/logo to line up with the scoring on the paper.

I've tried adjusting the padding of the bottom cell in the report, however it still doesn't line up.

Is it possible to control the size and placement of the repeater block on the  page so each appears on one third of the page?

SOLUTION!

In the properties window:

1. Set the Repeater Table Cell to 8 x 3.66
2. Go to Page and set all the margins to 0px, which removes margins from .pdf files.

I still had to mess with the height of the rows to get the alignment down, but it did finally work!
