I have report that generates a person's resume. The resume sections
(experience, education, skills ...) do not page correctly when exported to
PDF or TIFF. Instead of keeping sections together on the same page the
sections is moved to the next page even though there is sufficient space left
at the bottom of the current page.

I would really appreciate any help since this is due next week.

Hi Adil,

Did you solve this issue?.
I'm also got stuck with the same problem.

Please help if you have solved this issue.

Thanks,
Ranjith

No solution yet. I was hoping someone from Microsoft could look at this...

I have the same problem.

Data groups are being put on new pages instead of flowing. "KeepTogether"
property for all data regions is set to "False" but the groups are still
moved to new pages.

In design preview mode the data layout is perfect - until I print preview
or export to pdf - extra pages get added.

I installed SP2 and that solved another problem that I had - the first page
was blank in print preview mode but this problem still persists.

Anyway - sorry I can't help you on this one but I am hoping MS knows that
more than one person is having this problem.

Cheers

Hi,

I got to know that, this behaviour is as per the design. When we have list,
they implicitly set Keep together property to true during the rendering time.

The workaround given by microsoft is to use "Tables" instead of "list" in
the reports.

I believe microsoft people will help us for sure to fix this issue,else we
have no other option to redesign the reports from the scratch using tables
instead of list.

Thanks,
Ranjith

Thanks - tables work!

I originally used the wizard and to create a group -- the wizard uses lists,
not tables.

Anyway this issue caused me 2 days of work - I couldn't find any
information to solve this problem.

Thanks for the tip!
