I have web based application using Visual Studio 2019 Preview with SAP Crystal Reports 2016 Support Pack 7. I have created a simple report by adding Box object in details section and add vertical and horizontal lines for making table look. All fields in the details sections have checked "Can Grow" property. But in viewing report in Report Viewer, it is showing one extra line at the last row of each page.
Could it be possible to suppress the last additional line before page break through some formula?
The horizontal line property is also checked to "Move to Bottom of Section when Printing"

I have a crystal report that I inserted a worksheet object into to keep formatting easier. Problem is when I export to pdf on another server the part near the bottom of the page of this object disappears, still keeps its outer borders but all the inner ones vanish. Made sure both environments had the same version of crystal installed and have tried tweaking some things in the section expert.
I have a problem when trying to add page breaks in my SSRS report. It works fine in the view mode, but when trying to export the report to PDF format, an extra blank page appears. Any idea why this happens ?
In SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services, the ConsumeContainerWhiteSpace option is not available because the white space is automatically omitted.
In SSRS 2008 or higher, click on the yellow space outside the report body area and press F4 to open the Properties pane. You can find the ConsumeContainerWhiteSpace option in the Report Properties pane.

I have problems to view excel report from iReports 2.0.2 because it does not want to go out when I click the preview button to excel. It just appears in the folder only. When I open the excel file in the report, I see the data does not follow the order of table row and column.
What I want is when I click the preview button excel, then the report will continue to view direct from the report and the alignment follow the row and column.
iReport 2, unlike the 3.5 or greater versions, doesn't have the ability to show preview within it the application. This especially applies to excel reports. You can set a specific external application for each export type in the options dialog. As for the formatting problem, you have not posted any code so I doubt anyone could help. You probably made an error during downgrade of the report.
Background
I have a Crystal Reports 2008 file that came my way from a former employee's files; I'm tasked with making some changes.
Problem
When I open the report, I am told that the "default printer is not available".
Then all of the fields are collapsed in the main report.
I can fix this by going into page settings and manually setting the page size to 8.5x11, etc.
However, subreports still appear "collapsed" and changing page settings does not make them visible again.
Screenshot
This is how the subreport looks when it is opened.
Attempted Fixes
Manually dragging the sections to expand them. This produces no results as it appears they are collapsed too far to select any of the sections to pull down.
Page setup in Crystal Reports -- works on the main page, but does not work for sub-reports.
Looking for Crystal bugs on the internet. I believe this to be a bug, but I haven't been able to find a source that confirms it.
Notes
I know there is data in the subreports, and mousing over the subreport will randomly highlight orange boxes around fields I can't see (the tooltip will then display the name of the data element for a split second)
This looks as though all of the sections within the report are suppressed or hidden, and you don't have the Show Hidden Sections option enabled.
I suggest enabling the Show Hidden Sections option - in older versions of Crystal this can be done by selecting Options... from the File menu, then checking the Show Hidden Sections checkbox in the Design view section of the Layout tab in the Options dialog.
Clicking OK after checking this option should result in all suppressed/hidden sections becoming visible.
I'm using SSRS 2008 to make something for label printing. I want to make use of all horizontal and vertical space on the page to fit as many labels as possible, so I'm thinking I probably want multiple Report Columns.
This technet article would have you believe that you can set the number of Report Columns to make what they call "newsletter-style columns" in the Report Properties window. If I bring up the Report Designer in my Visual Studio 2008 installation and click on Report -> Report Properties from the top menu, I see this:
I can't find anything relating to columns, and no combination of the other settings on this page will make it change to multiple columns (yes, I'm rendering to PDF, not just checking the HTML preview.) Any ideas?
Thanks for your help!
Okay, I figured it out - when they say Report Properties, they don't mean the Report Properties dialogue that you might think. click on a blank region of the report to select the Report object, then pop up the Properties pane and you'll see a "Columns" property which you can adjust. Whew!
