I’d like to be able to show the values of an offer’s total only on the last page of the printing form, but i can’t use the trailing grand summary section because I want to show them at the bottom of the page (like the footer does).
Is there a “servoy” way to do that?
Do you want to print the total at the bottom of each page (in case your offer contains multiple pages) or only on the last page?

At the bottom of the last page only.
So actually you need something like “last page footer” ?
Yes! I vote for this one too!

Yes. It would be a great thing

Any update about this feature? My customers keep on asking me about it and since I couldn’t find a workaround, in the meanwhile, they’re getting anxious… 
You could already use the “grand trailing summary”, in Servoy 2.5 we will add a ‘sink’ property to a part, which will let the last part on page sink to the lowest part of the page when there is free space.

Great
Any news about the ‘sink’ property?
Are there any know workarounds for this?
My client does not like the idea of having the trailing summary right after the last invoice line… they want it at the bottom of the page… the problem is that the invoices may run into several pages, which rules out using a normal footer. They may produce up to 50,000 - 100,000 invoices a year so I need a reliable solution.
Yes, I would really love this feature too!
Has this been implemented yet?
Servoy 3?
It gets my strong vote.

It’s present in Servoy 3b2, but not working already.
Since the property is already there, probably we won’t have to wait too long
When I use the sinkWhenLast property, the part sinks too much on the first page, cutting off some of the text. On subsequent pages it’s fine. Is anyone else seeing this?
BTW, I have 2 trailing subsummaries on the form, the first one is for totals, doesn’t sink, and appears after the last item in the body, and the second is a tear off slip for Credit Card payments, which appears at the bottom.
The height of some elements in the second subsummary are changed by a method prior to printing, depending on what payment options should be displayed.
