Trying to add lines to a report after all data printed

I have a report that lists all the jobs for each technician for a given day. Each technician has one page (maximum of eight total jobs). Each job is separated by lines that are 1/25” apart and look something like this:
----------------------------------------------------
Mr. Smith
555 Home
City, St 55555
----------------------------------------------------

I want to finish each page with lines spaced every 1.25” for a total of eight “blocks” for jobs to fit in. I have figured out how many jobs are printed on a page already, and I know the maximum I can have are eight blocks. What I don’t know is how to tell the report form to print these extra lines. Here are two examples:

Tech Bob had three jobs printed, so I would like to print five more blocks for a total of eight

Tech Jim had six jobs, so I want to print two more blocks.

Once again, I know how many blocks I need, just not where or how to print these separator lines. Any help would be HUGE!

PS. Hope this is not a double post. PC went wacko. If it is, my apologies to all.
 
Try stretching the page header to the length of the page and then add the separator lines to the page header section at the desired intervals. Then format the page header section to "underlay following sections."

Awesome! This worked perfectly. Thanks for the tip!
