All of this can be achieved in the report design itself. Here's what you know:

• The height of the page (P)
• The height of your static data (S)
• The height of your header (H)
• The height of your data row (R)
• The count of data rows (C)
• The height of your footer (F)

So you can work out how big the remaining space is on the page: P - ((C*R) + S + F + H)

When I was working through my problem, I realised that I needed two 'spacers' for when the space remaining on the page was too small to fit the footer; spacer one filled in the remainder of the page 1 whilst spacer 2 was the available space on page 2 - P - (S + F + H).

So, you'll need hidden sections in the report to do the height calculations and two detail rows for spacers beneath any other detail rows.

There's a demo solution I created on GitHub which shows this 'pin-to-bottom' feature in action as well as resetting page numbers for groups, data-driven headers/footers, label translation and international formatting (page size, number formats, etc).
