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 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 been pulling my hair for a few days on this problem. I want to keep a table at the bottom of the first report page, NO MATTER how much other content there is (less than one page or more than one page). In other words, I want the table to behave just like a footer which is set to be printed only on the first page. However, as you may all know already, tables can't be put into a page footer in RDLC report (what a pity!).
I know I can put the rest content in a rectangle and consume the white space if there is any. However, this only works when my report is less than one-page. My table will be pushed to the next page if the content length in the rectangle exceeds the rectangle length.
Btw, I'm using VS 2012. Any help would be much appreciated!
I have a requirement to create a PDF page using jasper report. PDF is very huge so I need to divide it into three pages or multiple pages. Jasper studio has only one page to work. We can insert page break into the same jasper file. Once I put two page break in designer mode (which will create three pages) then each page size will remain the same but creates unnecessary blank space. Attaching snapshot.
How to resolve the blank space space ?
To get the required Result (as shown in the right hand side images), you need to Decrease the band Height. It seems you have to half your current band size to get the desired Layout
I have a RDLC report and I am displaying it on the Report Viewer Control in my front end application. I get the report perfectly and theres no problem in it.
But the problem arises when I try to export the report to a PDF (using available option - basically the inbuilt option).
I get the report in 3 pages whereas my client wants it to be in a single page. I am not able to figure out the reason for it as in my report viewer I see only one page but in a PDF there are 3 pages. I have only four columns with no data, still they are breaking up into multiple pages. 2 columns on 1st page 2 on second page. Not real sure what happened to the 3rd page. Somebody recommended changing the paper size of the default printer but I didn't think is was worth trying.
Can something be done abt it so that I can control the size of the report???
This can be a real PITA but there are several things you can do to get you there in BIDS.
To see what it will look like as a pdf use the "Print Layout" button on the preview mode toolbar.
Goto the report properties and set the orientation and paper size as you need them.
Remember the margins in the report properties to make your report display area smaller. I generally set these smaller than the defaults.
Go back to you report items and make sure they are smaller than (pagesize - margins)
This should help.
you can try setting InteractiveHeight=0 , I know that at least works for the MHTML output, not sure about PDF, but it might lead you in the right direction
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
