Report Pagination

When you view the report in Report Manager it shows that it is Page 1 of 1
but when I export it to PDF it actually has 437 pages. Which is fine...no
probs there but would like to know the reason that it says Page 1 of 1 rather
than the 437.
Any help would be greatly appreacited on this, as its baffling me.Hi Nat,
Reports can appear different when rendered in different formats. For
example, your report is displayed using HTML in Report Designer preview
mode versus PDF when exported. So it is this formatting in HTML that
can cause the page number issue you describe (HTML has no concept of
page numbers - the whole report is '1' page...)
Maybe these suggestions can help?
1) When you preview a report in report designer, you can press the
<print preview> button (<print layout> in RS2005 if I recall...) on the
preview pane toolbar to display the report with pages (as it would
print out). At least you'll know how many pages the report truly has
this way.
2) If your report has hard page breaks set, you'll see the pages
displayed in preview window automatically.
