If your footer is getting truncated or cut off at the end of the page, here are several steps to stop that from happening


1. Check Footer Band Properties

  • Select the Page Footer Band in your report.

  • In the Properties panel, ensure:

    • CanGrow = true.

    • PrintOnBottom = true (this ensures it prints at the bottom, not just after data).


2. Adjust Margins and Page Size

  • Go to Page Setup:

    • Ensure your bottom margin isn't too large.

    • Leave enough space for the footer to be printed.


3. Disable “PrintOnAllPages” If Not Needed

  • If PrintOnAllPages = true, and your footer contains dynamic content, that might cause layout issues on some pages.

  • Try disabling it temporarily to see if that fixes the truncation.


4. Avoid Overlapping Content

  • Ensure that no other bands (like Data or GroupFooter) are pushing into the space where the footer should render.

  • Use the “Show Structure” option to view band layout clearly.


5. Preview Page Height

  • In the Preview, check if your report page content exceeds the available space.

  • If content from other bands is too large, it may leave no room for the footer to render.
