SSRS multiple reports per PDF? - sql

I have a task that needs to create a 6-page SSRS report in PDF format. Each page will have a different dataset and SQL query, and I need to include them in one report in separate pages with page numbers.
I have created the 6 separate reports, but I am not sure how to create one PDF with each report on its own page.

You could just create another report with all the reports compiled in it as SubReports, and enable "add a page break after" after each Subreport.
Adding the Page number is as simples as adding a text to your footer with Globals!TotalPages

SSRS Render to PDF repeating last page

USING VS2013 and SSRS2012
I have a small ssrs report(2 pages) that displays perfectly in the report viewer and report server but when i export it to PDF the second page is duplicated. I have not seen this behavior with other reports and even this report when there is only one page. Is there something I should be looking for in the SSRS report?
Thanks in advance,
Hank Anzis
I solved the problem by changing the page break options. There are two groups on the report. The inner group had a page break on each occurrence and a page break at the start of the group. I removed the page break at the start of the group and there is no duplicated page on the rendering and printing.

PDF form using Cognos

We want to create a Cognos report which renders a PDF output with an editable text field. Some of the values in the report will be retrieved from Database and one editable text field should be available which a user can manually edit outside of the report studio using pdf editors.
How do we create this editable text field in cognos?
There isn't any method I'm aware of to do this shy of using some post-processing code external to Cognos to edit the PDF and insert what you're looking for in a particular location.
You would need to ask IBM to add an enhancement to Cognos to get this to happen.

How to view multipe reports in 1 crystal reports viewer?

How can I open 2 seperate reports in 1 crystal reports viewer at a single time?
And when previewing the report, I see that my subreport doesn't filled its parent control width, how to Subreport width fill its parent width?
I use crystal reports for visual studio 2010.
As far as I know you can't have multiple reports show in the same viewer as the report gets bound to the viewer. Now there are some ways of getting around that and making it look like you have multiple reports showing in one viewer:
1) You could append multiple viewers to your page and suppress all toolbars.
2) You could make each of the reports into a subreport and put them into one report.
3) If the report is not going to be interactive(ie - paging, links, drill down, etc) you could just generate pdf's for each report and merge them.
And about your subreport not showing correctly: you need to format the subreport seperately to make it fit your page. Just formatting the subreport container will not help, you have to format the subreport itself.
Hope that helps!

Pagination in report viewer

I am using report viewer control in ASP.NET MVC 4 application. Because for this i did not follow the MVC structure. I create a separate aspx page for report. Its working fine.
But i am facing issue in pagination. I want to display limited no of rows per page. For example if i have 1000 rows in then i want to show 10 rows on each page (I want this pagination for web page, i am not talking about when we print the report in PDF or Excel). I am using Table (a control from report toolbox)
I searched on net but someone suggested me to set "InteractiveSize" but this is depends upon the size , i want to fix it as a 10 rows per page same like we use in Gridview.
Specifying Page Breaks and Page Sizes is also not work for me. I think we use "Page Breaks and Page Sizes" for doing partition on pdf or excel file.
Please give me solution. thanks in advance.

SSRS report losing formatting in interactive viewer

I have an SSRS report with two subreports that had been working fine. Recently I added some additional table sections to the report and I started seeing an issue when the report was displayed in the interactive viewer. The data is fine but the formatting on the last two table sections does not appear in the viewer.
The formatting actually stops working half way through the next to last report. However, when I print the report (or export to a PDF), all of the formatting is there and the report prints fine.
I have tried splitting the report into more subreports, running with different data and it still does not display correctly in the interactive viewer. The report and subreports do have a lot of formatting and table sections and I am wondering if the RDL files are too big to store in memory or if they even do get stored in memory.
The RDL file sizes are 61 kB for the main report and 2612 kB and 2608 kB respectively for the subreports. Is there a size limitation on the RDL files? Any ideas?
I have found a work around for my problem. If I render my report directly to a PDF, then the report will not display in the interactive viewer, but only as a PDF which displays correctly. This is done by adding "&rs:Format=PDF" to my URL when I call it from my C# program that allows the user to input the parameters. Then the user can print the report and never see the missing formatting in the interactive viewer. This works for my, however, I would still like to know if there is another answer that allows it to view correctly in the interactive viewer or if I have surpassed some memory limitations.
If you split the report into its component parts does it display ok? If as you say you have recently added some new sections/Sub reports to it if you remove them does it look ok again.
You have probably got some strange overlapping happening, in the report designer when the report complies check the warning tag to see if it gives you any clues
