Question about Duplex Printing

edited August 2002 in General
I have a report setup like the following:

Page 1: Master File and Detail File #1 (always one page only)
Page 2: Detail File #2 and Detail File #3 (Always one page only)
Page 3: Continuation Page for Detail File #1 (n number of pages)
Page 4: Continuation Page for Detail File #2 and #3 (n number of
pages)

So my question is the following: How do I get duplex printing to
work when they have an odd number of pages. The duplex printing works

fine when there is an even number of pages. I assume I will need to
print
a blank page at the end to make the number of pages even, but I was
not
sure how to calculate the number of pages and then print a blank page.

Thanks for your help.

    You can generate the report to a cache, and then read the cache and send
    pages to the device. This way you can know the page count, and then create
    a TppPage and stick it on the end. You'll have to update each page object's
    AbsolutePageCount property to reflect the new page count, since you are
    adding a page. I can email you an example which demostrates this technique
    to do somehting similiar if you post your email address here or send an
    email to support@digital-metaphors.com
