We are trying to create Crystal Report but have a problem with page template creation.
Report looks like this:
It should be "stamp" in the right bottom corner of page. First page stamp looks little different from other pages stamp.
At the left part of page on the left margin two objects are placed. Both of them oriented vertically and should work as header and footer (should be shown on every page) but take more room than required for usual header and footer. In this case we can't use usual header and footer to place these objects.
Tables on pages should work as "background" because even 1 record on page should show 20-row table (with first row filled in this example)
It would be great if we have something like "left running title" but we can't see such feature in CR.
I attached couple images to show how the report should look (sorry, i can't post images here because have no enough reputation points):
First Page Second Page
Could you please say how such report template can be created? We have no skilled CR developer in our company and have no idea which way of report creation can be used :(
We also agree to use another report engine if it is free and can work with .NET applications
Thanks for help

You can use underlay property of the sections to get the desired result. You can use the page header and page footer for putting the details and for page-header, set the underlay property to TRUE and for the footer, set the property of the detail section (I presume, you have a single detail section in the report) to TRUE. This will make the details of the header and footer display beneath the detail section.

I have seen many sites but couldn’t find the proper answer. I want content in report header but instead of keeping content in details section my requirement is to keep in the report footer. When I inserted a subreport in footer a and another in report b they are showing up on different pages.how can I make them appear on the single page?
Thanks in advance,

If I understand the question correctly, you have a Report Footer that has been created with 2 sub-sections that are each printing on separate pages. If this is the case, then you can go into Section Expert and select the top level Report Footer section (the one that contains the Report Footer A and Report Footer B sub-sections) and then check the checkbox for Keep Together. This will ensure that all of the sub-sections within the Report Footer are printed on the same page together.
Keep in mind that things can still be pushed to a second page depending upon how you design the report. But as long as the content will all fit on one page the Keep Together property should get the job done well enough.
I want to display report header in every page of my cross tab report in Crystal Reports 13. Currently the header only appears on the first page. How can I fix this problem? Kindly suggest me.
Check bellow screen shot
Page 1:
Page 2:
Design View:
Right click on the selected fields in report header and go to format and check option Repeat on Horizontal Pages so that it applies for every page
Finally I solved the problem to display header for cross tab report in each page.
1.Create a formula using bellow code
WhileReadingRecords;
""
2.Create a Group Field using that formula field (which is empty group)
3.Crete Cross Tab Report inside of group header section.
4.Finally place my report header inside of page header section.
Now its working according to my demand and display report header every page
Thanks all of you
Check bellow screen shot
You have to do following things:
right-clicking on the row header
select Row options
select Repeat Labels on Page break
Crystal Reports lets you designate report objects that don't expand horizontally, such as text objects, field objects, OLE objects, charts, maps, lines, boxes, and so on, to be repeated on each additional horizontal page that a Cross-Tab creates.
Check this for help.
Also, similar question How to repeat Crystal Report Header on each page answered by me here. If you still after this links don't get solution, feel free to ask so we go into details of your cross-tab etc...
There are two kinds of headers in Crystal Reports. There are Report Headers (which you're currently using) and there are Page Headers (which are what you want to use in this case.)
A Report Header will only display once - on the first page.
A Page Header will appear on every page. (Unless you
specifically tell it not to.)
Move the circled fields into a Page Header and suppress the old Report Header you were using before. If all goes well, you'll see the circled field on every page going forward.
One other possible approach would be to insert a separate section above each crosstab that will contain your repeating Page Header. (Section Expert -> Insert) or (Right click Section -> Insert Section Below)
Then for the aforementioned inserted section, force a page break before. (Section Expert -> New Page Before)
Repeat this step for each Report Header section that contains a crosstab. The downside is that you will have many pages depending on the number of crosstabs in your report. Hope it helps.
I want to add footer on my report, but only on the last page. I followed this tutorial which was successful, but it leaves space for the footer on all pages.
How can I get rid off that space for the footer on all pages except the last one?
I can only think of the following solution for your problem:
First - don't use the build in Footer. Instead, use a sub-report that will contain your footer details.
Now, you need to define the sub-report as thin as possible in the main report (while in the actual sub-report - arrange your data as you want).
Then just implement the same concept as described in the link that you provided - means that you need to define an expression in the sub-report visibility filed.
attaching a demonstration that explaining the 'using sub-report' idea:
EDIT
I did some research - If you follows the instructions provided by the link in your question but Strech the rectangle to cover all the footer area, then your are good - the footer will not be displayed until the last page:
This how I arranged the Rectangle over the footer:
Middle Page (you can see that the footer's rectangle is hidden:
Last Page (footer is visible):
I have a crystal report for an application form, which I have done by using an image as a water mark in the page header, and then have some fields to be overlayed in the details section by having the page header set to Underlay Following sections.
That all works nicely, but now I want to print another report with this: basically a cover letter which is the primary data set; which then calls my application form report as a sub report. However because subreports don't have page headers, I can't get the watermark and the fields to overlay with each other regardless of what keep togethor or underlay following sections I select on groupings.
Has anyone tried to do this before, and has been able to do it at all? I can't find anything.
OR has anyone created a watermark report, that then supresses the watermark for a subreport (basically reversing the logic above).
Thanks all.
If making a page header to underlay won't work, here's another option.
Make a top grouping that is the same for every record (e.g. the company the grand total of the report is for.) In Group Options, check the box for "Repeat Group Heading On Each Page." In Section Options, check "Underlay Following Sections."
Now, whatever you put in that header will be repeated on every page and everything else will go over it.
Let's say I have a logo that I want to appear in the same place on a set of reports (many files). Is there a way for me to put that logo into the equivalent of a master page and apply that master page to all the pages of my reports? I'd like the logo to appear in the same place on a variety of documents without having to mess around with copypasta.
Using CR 9.2 (ouch, call the archeology dept eh?).
The easiest way to do this is to add a new header or footer section that includes your logo.
In Crystal 2008 (sorry, it's all I have) this is done by right clicking on any of the header/footer sections (e.g. Report header, page header, group footer, etc.) and then selecting "Insert Section Below".
This gets you a new section that will repeat at the top or bottom of every new section/page. Any logos pasted into a page header will be reused for each page.
Note that you can have as many "page header" sections as you want if you find it helpful to split up the header into multiple vertically stacked sections.
Years ago they used to have an page header and page footer. Not sure about the current version of Crystal Reports.
you can create a report as [MasterReport] with the logo in any where of it then you should insert a subreport into it. MasterReport equivalent of the master page and the subreport is like the placeHolders in asp.net and you can create this subreport like a dynamic report.
When you add a subreport to a report, crystal reporter creates a copy of subreport and save it into main report so you can not change the subreport by code at run time.
