SSRS Report border width format doesn't show up - reporting-services

I'm currently using SQL Server 2016 Reporting Builder. In the normal view layout, my form report is formatted perfectly(example 1).
When I change to Print layout, the border width doesn't show up (Top,left,right) (example2). anyone can give the advise for the problem? thanks
Example 1(thick black border )
Example 2(only center and bottom is the black border)

Tablix Textbox Border Rendering with 2 pt on the sides

I have created and SSRS report. I have a text box for my Tablix header. I set the border to 1pt solid black, but the sides are rendering with 2pts when I convert to pdf. Is this just how my machine renders or is there a way to fix this? The team I am creating this report for keep complaining that the borders are uneven but I'm not sure how to make sure they render evenly.

SSRS Rendering On Server Adding Whitespace

I have a report, and on that report is a rectangle with a bunch of textboxes that are only visible based on a Visibility Expression for each box.
When I run my SSRS report on my desktop, or if I convert it to a PDF from the server, it looks fine. When a textbox is not visible, the box underneath moves up to fill the void.
When I just let it render through a browser on the server using (&rs:Command=Render) it's adding white space to move it to the middle of the rectangle so it is not formatting properly.
Here's what it looks like when only one of the lines is visible when it's on my desktop or when saved as a PDF (or image) file:
The red box is moved up to right underneath the black box when all the other boxes are not visible. That's what I want.
When it's rendered on the server, it looks like this:
It's moving the red box to the middle of the rectangle for some reason.
It's not the browser, I've tried 3 and it looks the same in all of them.
I've setting the consume container white space property to both true and false for the report and it makes no difference.
I can't add the textboxes to a tablix as this is a subreport that takes parameters and cannot have a datasource or dataset.
Any ideas on how to get rid of that whitespace when only one or a few lines are visible?
Thanks.

Rectangle or Border look alike behaviour on SSRS report

How can I have fixed rectangle inside the report body for every page ? I am placing a tablix, after that a matrix inside that rectangle.
I have attached pictures of my ddl design view, pdf view and desired result layout.
So far, I have tried to use fixed tablix size by using sql insert empty row. But this way, I wasn't able to put my matrix inside it.
By simply using rectangle, since the rectangle is fixed sized and I am getting problem when my tablix has more data and it is pushing down the rectangle if I have some space below my tablix and matrix.
Any insight will be greatly appreciated.
In your Report Properties, set the ConsumeContainerWhiteSpace setting to true and make your Rectangle as large as it need to be on a page. In doing this, the tables will grow into the white space with each row and not push the bottom of the rectangle until the table is too large to fit.

Make footer appear at the bottom of Report Page even if there is no data

I'm working on SSRS Report.
How to make footer appear at the bottom of Report page, when there is no data to show in tablix?
Currently all reports footer is appearing immediate next to the Tablix Last Row. It should always appear at the bottom of every page whether data is present or not.
Please help me!
Put an empty Rectangle item to the right of your data tablix, with it's height as the minimum height you want the report body to take up. Even if the tablix has no data, the Rectangle will act as a minimum height.
In my screenshots the rectangle is blue and the footer is yellow to highlight what happens. You can make your rectangle whatever colour and width you want. From my testing in SSRS 2008 R2, this still works even if the rectangle has no colour and the report's ConsumeContainerWhitespace property is True.
If you're printing the report or exporting it to PDF etc., you shouldn't have to worry about this. The page size of the print/export will automatically put the footer at the very bottom of each page, regardless of the body contents.

To draw horizontal line in tablix region

I am using SSRS 2005(MS-BIDS 2005) to design reports.For designing one of the table i have a requirement to draw a horizontal lines above and below group headers and footers as shown in the image below
When i try to drag and drop a line from the tool box, i get the below error
Is there any way using which i can draw lines as shown in the image.
Thanks in advance :) .
You can use borders property. Make top and bottom border style as solid in border style and rest as None. Then border color as Black do it where you want lines. And just set border style as None where you don't want it.
