Hi, my problem is very simple yet interesting.
In Crystal Reports the page footer appear at the bottom of the page,
but I want it to appear just after the contents of the page. How can I
do that? Actually the problem is that I have created a software for a
pathology lab and the report requires signature on each page, yet the
signature should be just after last line on the page.
I cannot use group footer or report footer for this task. I have to
use page footer.

Please reply.

Why do you have to use the page footer? A group footer is designed to follow the
content, and a page footer is designed to go at the bottom of the page.

As I said I have to repeat signature on each page. The group footer
might sometimes repeat on the same page and sometimes a group might
take 2 or more page, thus appear after 2 or more pages.

Ah. Some report tools, don't know about Crystal, allow group headers and footers
to be repeated on each page. It is a property setting of the section. Maybe you
can find one of those?

I doubt you will find a way to get a page footer to move around on the page very
easily.

If it were me, I would have the signature at the top of each page, and tell them
"that's the way it is." :-)

You are right. Crystal reports allows to repeat group header on each
page but not group footer and that's the problem.
