Well, no that didn't work. Following your steps:
01. My page footer is exactly 1" high. Prints perfectly on each page,
There is a 1/2" top and bottom margin. Since the bottom of the
printable area would be at the 10 1/2" mark, this page footer
begins to print 1" above that, at 9 1/2". So far so good.
02. My two PF fields are scrunched to the top, tons of room below.
03. I added a report footer with just one little static text field located,
scrunched to the top. The width of the RF is only 0.25". I started
off by putting a Print Position of 9.0. Incrementing it by .1, it stayed
located above the Page Footer until I hit 9.3. At 9.3, it pushed the
Report Footer to the next page, with Page Footers at the bottom of
each page. Same for 9.4 and 9.5. At 9.6 I got a blank piece of
paper, no printing at all.
Since 9.2 stayed on one page, and 9.3 pushed it to the next
page, I played with hundreds between 9.2 and 9.3 but never got it
to print below the PF.
Are you saying that at some point the RF prints "on top of" the
PF? I can't get it to do that, so I think I'll just have to tell the
client that it doesn't work that way anymore.

Here's how:
01. Based on the page setup and margins, simply increase the "Height"
of the "Page Footer" band which will also increase the white space.
02. Then, move all DB Text, DB Calc, and System Variable controls on
Page Footer band at the top of this band, to leave room for the
Report Footer contents underneath it.
03. Right-click on the gray area of the Report Footer [^ Report Footer]
band and select Position...
Assign the exact Print Position
(keeping in mind the page footer setting as defined in step 02)
You may need to adjust the Report Footer Print Position as needed.
04. Click on [Preview Report] tab
Scroll down to see all contents of the Page Footer
Click on Last Page [>|] icon to see all contents of Page Footer
and Report Footer, right after the Page Footer, on the last page.
Hope that helps!
Very Best R:egards,
