We have a PO report that is 2 pages long and I can see whitespace at the top of 2nd page of RDLC PO report. I think its the header space but I want to get rid of that. Any idea how can we remove/hide that space?

This usually happens when the table in your body is not at the top of the body.

If the table has some whitespace, then that space is shown on the second (and other) pages of the report.

So try to align the top of the table to the top of the body.

Hi,

Thanks for replying. But we don't have any whitespace table in body section and still whitespace appears on second page of PO. Is there any other reason for this ?

If there's no spaces at the top of the body, typically above the List, then you might have an empty header.

When the header is empty, it is still shown and there's no way to hide it.

What do you mean by empty header? I have header fields on the first page but I have unchecked this option for second page in header display properties.

There's nu such thing ;-)

There are 2 properties: PrintOnFirstPage and PrintOnLastPage that you can use to not print the header on the first and/or last page(s), but on all other pages it will be printed.

Yes.

These settings mean you can decide to not display the header on first and/or last page, but it will always display on all other pages.

Ohh I see. Thanks! So is there any way so that header will not get printed on middle pages ?

You have to write an expression in the hidden property of the textboxes and use the globals.pagenumber to decide when to set hidden to true/false. Or put the textboxes in a rectangle and set the expression on the hidden property of the rectangle.

However, even when you hide all textboxes on a header, the header will still display, but then it will be blank, but it still consumes space…
