Page header height not recognized on first page in PDF output

Hi,
 
I want to design a report for PDF output. The first page uses a different layout than the following pages of the report. So I unchecked the option "show header on first page" in my Masterpage and build the header at the top of my layout.
 
My problem is, that the PDF renderer uses the space of the header height and therefore print the the layout below the blank header of the first page. The following pages are rendered correct.
 
I can't use multiple Masterpages, since the report must be designed for single page layout also.
 
My best workaround was to give my top grid a negative margin, but that comes with moved and unreadable content on the second page.
 
Thanks for helping!
 
Regards,
 Daniel

Are you using Auto Layout or Fixed Layout. Can you provide an example we could run?

Hi,
 
I have the same problem. I'm using Fixed Layout. I attached two examples of report with a header on the first page and that same report without the header on the first page. I also attached the rptdesign file but it's very easy to reproduce the problem - just create a header that is large enough to notice the difference, hide it from the first page and export the report as pdf.
 
Is there any way to solve this?
 
Thanks,
Nika

What version are you using? Also, I am not sure I understand the requirement. Can you provide detail as to what you are trying to accomplish?

I am using version 4.3.2.
 
I am trying to hide the header on the first page but the empty space in the size of the header still stays on top of the report as you can see on the example "HeaderNotVisible.pdf". I would like to remove that empty space and move report data to the top.

You will need 2 master pages. Here is an example
