objPDF.Save("Profile.pdf", Aspose.Pdf.SaveType.OpenInAcrobat, Response)

'save the file to response

objPDF.Save("Profile.pdf", Aspose.Pdf.SaveType.OpenInAcrobat, Response)

I observe that when i comment out the lines highlighted in red from header and footer section alternatively the report runs fine.

Is the content of header or footer exceeding the section alloted for header or footer. If this is the reason then why isn't this behaviour consistance? Request you to kindly help me understand this.

Thanks a lot in advance.
