Hi David,

I sent you a direct email regarding your Estimate report.

Jason,

I followed your instructions but this hasnt helped the issue. I sent out an estimate today with 19 line items and again the blank page showed up on page 1. Can you or someone else do some digging and find a solution? This blank page makes us look crappy to our customers. Thanks

Hi David,

I took a look at your report. One thing that might be causing an issue is that you have some fields that go outside of the boundries of the report. My screenshot below shows the Estimate label sitting outside of the red line border. Make sure all of your fields are inside this border.

The blank pages might also be caused the size of the descriptions on your items. The only way to fix the report is to design it a little differently. Try decreasing the space given for the Detail band and also try to give more space for your Description field so the text doesn't have to wrap so much. Hope this helps!

Hi David,

I see what you mean. I will try and replicate this behaviour and find a solution for you. If I have an update, I will post it here. Talk soon!

Estimate - blank pages showing up with long estimates

I have certain estimates that have 10+ line items (estimate #5024 is a prime example) and when i go to view these estimates blank pages show up on page 1, before page 2 and 3 which have the actual line items. How do i correct this issue? I know we had consultants do customization, but i dont understand why this issue would be happening?
