I have a similar problem to this question: space between Crystal Reports Cross-Tab Column, but I'm pretty sure the gap is not caused by the page size.
In Crystal Reports (CR 2013), the cross tab displays just fine:
However, when I use the Crystal Viewer (SAP CR Viewer 2011), which my customers will have, there is a gap:
The page size should be fine, as the header fits fine. In addition, I have a different cross tab on the first page, it is wider, and it doesn't have the gap. The page size is set to landscape legal, no printer.
What other issues could be causing this?

I want to print data with two columns in crystal report. For example:
enter image description here
But the problem is, I cannot create columns in crystal report. I followed the instructions like Right Click in Section Details then tick the Format Multiple Columns checkbox then adjust the Gap and detail size in Layout Tab. However, only 1 column has been created.
enter image description here
I am using the Crystal Report built in in Visual Basic.Net 2008. Thank you very much.
Probably due to page margins, page size, detail width and gap, the content can't fit as 2 columns.
Use File, Page Setup to adjust those aspects.
Another suspect is that you never actually previewed the report.
The multi-column layout is rendered during Preview.
So you must actually run the report.
Scenario - We are developing a report using crystal reports. The report has to be printed on pre-printed template. The report is designed as follows - (the colors used are just for helping identifying the problem when report is printed on paper). We are using Visual Studio version 2010 with Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010
Problem - When I am exporting the report to .pdf, or viewing it on screen the report looks perfectly alright, but when I print the report on paper, the page footer is not printing at the bottom of the page, it is printing about one and a half inches above the bottom of the page.
Fix attempts -
In CR designer page setup, the size of the page is given same as that of the pre-printed template (12 inches height)
Used page footer as it automatically prints at the bottom of the page
Also tried using "GroupFooter" and set the option "Print at the bottom of the page" to true
Page size set correctly in the printer preferences
Anticipating problem with the printer, used another printer, but for no help.
Extensive googling for the solution :)
Any help on fixing this up would be really invaluable. Thanks
It is the custom size paper that was causing the issue.
To reduce the gap, just decrease the top margin and shift the fields of page header and report header accordingly.
I am new to cross tab reports.I have cross tab report ,when i exported to PDFs.
I am getting space after every page in my cross tab.
I need to fill that space with next page data if its fit.
please suggest how to do
In Crystal Reports 2008, to which I've recently upgraded, I have a new report in which I'm trying to place boxes and lines. The report is Letter, landscape, with .25" margins, so I have 10.5" of space to work with.
Unfortunately, Crystal will only let me place drawing objects in the first 8" of space. If they overlap that range, Crystal sizes them back to 8". If I place them entirely to the right, Crystal moves them back to the 8" mark.
I have the same problem if I try to change the width or position using the Size and Position box.
Sounds like a bug where it's mistaking the available length for the available width.
Any idea how to fix this or work around it?
Old thread i know but here is the correct answer/fix.
The issue with only being able to draw a line so far across the report is due the the ruler at the top not extending along the full length of the report page.
This in turn is down to the default printer that is selected and the restricted paper sizes that it allows.
Install a dummy printer that accepts larger paper sizes and either set it to default, or click on File > Page Setup and under printer options, select the dummy printer.
The ruler should now extend across the full length of the report page and you can extend your line to match it.
NB: This was in Crystal Reports 2013 R2 - The settings may differ slightly in older/newer versions.
i had same issue. could not scratch lines.
i tried to change page setup from landscape to portrait and then did required changes.
again changed page setup to landscape and it was working fine .
We have some reports that have a large text field. I've set the font to ariel 9. In Crystal Designer, it takes up the space I've given it. When I move it to our Business Objects sever, it moves each letter closer to each other, and each line closer to each other, making it seem like there is extra space to the right and bottom of the field, with more space at the bottom the more lines in the field.
I changed my report on the server from DHTML viewer to ActiveX viewer, and that fixed it -- as long as I ran it from the server. As soon as it is run from the web page that calls it, however, it's back all scrunched up.
How do I control the spacing on a font, both in designing and in running the report?
