When printing multiple pages (2 pages) in single sheet (in horizontal view), the 3rd page always gets printed on the left side of the page, can I change this setting somehow and print this page on the right instead? If yes then how can I do that?
Just to be clear, I'm asking whether we can change the order where each page to be printed.
Regards!
Without changing the printing settings, you could try inserting a page break/blank page in between page 2 and 3.This will bump the existing page 3 to the right side, while keeping the left side empty.
Though this assumes you have no other pages beyond page 3. Because this shifts the further pages by 1 page

I have created an SSRS Matrix report which shows 3 pages in output but when i export the report as a PDF, it shows 6 pages. One page is blank, although i selected the option ConsumeContainerWhiteSpace as True but still it is giving me a blank page as well the output pages are more than what is being shown in preview. I am using VS2013, kindly suggest.
As some comments have already suggested you will need to do a bit of trial and error with your page layout, page size and report contents to ensure that there is no white space pushing onto other pages.
The easiest way I have found to do this is to use the Print Layout option when previewing the report in Report Builder (In the middle of the Ribbon when viewing the report preview), which previews the report as it would be exported to actual pages. If it is still not obvious as to why the blank pages are there, you can set different background colours to your report items and report itself to see which colours show on the 'blank' pages. This will show you whether it is a report item or the report page layout that needs to be adjusted.
Your tables are running over more than likely.
Click ruler button in toolbar and make sure width of tables + margins is less than 11 if landscape and 8.5 if potrait.
Also if you right click outside of the report and select properties You can check your margins. I like to use between 0 and .5.
I have couple of SSRS reports deployed to test server.
The report layout/formatting looks OKAY on the screen but when I export to PDF and view in PDF, everything is messed up.
For example, I see two columns shown in separate page. Even one of the tablix region comes up separately in another page.
So totally one page on-screen display comes to PDF in about 3 to 4 pages.
Also the 2nd and 3rd pages are always blank.
Did I mess up the report defination or any width/height parameters? The report is set to print in landscape and is in inches.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
You probably need to increase the page width, from the Report menu. This will keep all your columns on a single page. As for blank pages when report is exported to PDF, you will have to squeeze out all white space while designing the report. The size of the canvas should not be more than what is just needed. If you have groups on your report and there are page breaks separating each group, setting the ConsumeContainerWhiteSpace property of the Report to true will ensure there are no blank pages at the end.
I am generating the PDF in that, i have merged first RDLC(Report) and second cristal report Total 2 pages are in my report,but after generating PDF it is showing three page, last page is blank so how to Delete blank page Using VB.NET... please help me out....
The reason for the third page is probably an element of the report overflowing invisibly somewhere. Try making it slightly less wide for starters and see if that helps.
I need to set the margins differently for the first page than the rest of the pages.
I've messed around with inserting section breaks (as from what I've read is that Word creates a section break when you choose to apply "this point forward" from the Page Setup Margins tab, but I can't seem to consistently create a continuous section break at the start of the second page.
If not section breaks, any other way would be fine. Need to adjust margins to match new letterhead design for a bunch of existing documents so am planning on fixing the margins in a sub-routine when the print button is clicked (part of another macro).
A Continuous Section Break is used to allow multiple sets of margins within the same page. A Next Page Section Break, which has the properties of both a section break and a page break, will allow one set of margins for the first page and another set of margins for all pages following it. One way it can be created is like this:
Selection.InsertBreak Type:=wdSectionBreakNextPage
Now here's where it gets tricky. Word has two different types of page breaks: Automatic and Manual. Automatic page breaks get created when text no longer fits on a page and Word automatically generates a new page. If the documents you are reformatting via the macro have automatic page breaks, inserting the Next Page Section Break at the end of the first page will cause Word to delete its Automatic Page Break (using the Next Page Section Break to keep the pages separate) and any margin changes you make to the first page will not carry over to the following pages. However, if the documents contain a Manual Page Break between pages one and two, inserting the Next Page Section Break will create a blank second page. As such, if this is a possibility, code will need to be written to detect the Manual Page Break and delete it after the Next Page Section Break has been inserted.
Letterhead layouts and Word can be really difficult and tricky if you need other values only on the first page. In my practice, I find often letterheads with graphical elements in a right margin of the first page up to a certain heigth, e.g. a list of partner names or business information. So on the first page the right margin should be 6 cm, while on all following pages it should be 2,5 cm.
Using a section break is not possible due to the fact that it moves while the user inserts text.
I've used the following approach with some success:
Create a text box in the first page header which is sufficiently big to occupy the space needed. Setup the property for "Text Wrapping" = Square, so that text cannot overlap the box.
Of course you can insert the text box also into the document body to have that effect. Unfortunately, users can then touch the text box easily in a mouse action, and move it to another position. If you put it into the first page header, it will appear only on the first page, and will appear "in the background" of the page. The user can enter text in the document body, but it will stop before the text box, which simulates a right margin on the first page.
I have a user sign off report where it shows a users rights/access to the system which all fits nicely onto one page when I hit preview. However when I then go to print layout it shows me two pages with the second page only containg the footer.
Any ideas please?
Are you sure the page size matches the paper size?
If so, have you tried setting the page footer's PrintOnLastPage property to false? Then again, if you really need that footer to be there (seeing that there's only one page), you might have to try fiddling with the margins to get it to fit within the first page.
The report size at design time, plus the margins must be less than the paper size. Sometimes you can have a report that is too wide that is essentially generating a blank page "to the right" rather than underneath the first page.
Yes I have scrunched it all up so that it is WELL within the page size and I have tried all combinations of Footers (and headers).
It is a slightly wierd report in that it has fields that need to grow to show all the information and a small table too, but even at full growth the data looks like it fits on one page (in preview in Visual Studio) but as soon as it goes to print preview and printing it reverts to two pages.
Make sure you do not have extra area to the right of the last field of the report.
Are you sure you've adjusted the report's display size in the property sheet, too?
Hope this helps,
Bill
