How to Eliminate Blank Pages in PDFs

Question - I want to format my reports so that each new section begins on the top of a new page.

The current solution is to put a blank cell in the bottom left of the section we want to always start at the top of a page. Then we set the properties so that it always starts on a new page.

However, then the problem is that when I send this report to a PDF, there is a blank page that appears in between the sections.

Does anyone have an idea about how to circumvent this problem?

Thanks in advance, Arthur
 
BO allows the section also to be started on a new page when there is a change in the section value.
Right click on the section and click "Format Section" and then click the check box "Start on a new page"
With this you can do away with the "blank cell" you are using and this would solve your PDF problem too.

Thanks for that suggestion, you would think that would work but it never seems to actually work. I set that up in a report, but when I Print Preview or send it to PDF, it doesn't actually start a new page for each section.

Help???
