Title: Extra space at the start of page of every pdf report
Post by: shivapm on 13 Sep 2017 05:58:18 PM
The report in Cognos 10 that I executed,  is having extra free space in every page for a list.  The space is equivalent of 2 rows of the list. The list starts with the column name row after this extra space. I have tried all set of properties like pagination, column and list/block table properties. Can anyone please help me in removing extra space?

Hi,
Check the page properties. If you are printing, check if it can be set at the printer level.
Good luck

Thanks for the reply,

but it is not the page that has this problem. Since, the report contains all in all 4 different lists and all have same properties for the tools like table/list/block but only in one of the list which like others runs into pages, this is observed.
The pagination at the list has all properties clicked, so it is at the table level. The list is placed inside a table. I deleted all and re-did the entire report, but still the problem of this extra blank space at the start of the pages in this particular list still persists.

Hope this explains it better. Hoping that someone has seen this problem earlier.

regards,

Hi,
Select the page and make the top margin to 0 pixel and see if this makes any difference. And do the same for the list that is giving you the extra space.
Good luck

Hi,
Can you cut all the lists and queries, prompt pages and add a text 'List' in all the cells and blocks that you are having lists and post the xml?
Good luck
