Broken Image Box in SSRS report - reporting-services

I have a few lines breaking up my report. When I run the report from the server or development I get a "broken image" box directly under my lines. I have tried to make the line a box or list box. The only way I can seem to get to work is to remove the line. Is this something I just have to deal with?

SSRS print as pdf causing extra space

I have built an SSRS report which has a field pulling data from a database. the field supports HTML, and I've set the property in SSRS to render it as HTML. The field is within a tablix.
When I run the report in SSRS (not render as PDF) it comes up fine, the tablix ends where the field's date ends. However, if i run it and render it as PDF there seems to always be some extra space at the end of the field, pushing the tablix further down. I tried removing all html tags from the data, still leaving the field to render as HTML, same results. Even without any html tags in the data there appears to be space at the end of field, pushing the tablix end border down.
Can this extra space be removed?
Hvae you tried by removing marging/padding of report from top and bottom section. You can do it by right click on report by selecting "Report Properties" option. that will open dialog and from that you can change top and bottom margin.
please check below image.
Try this.

SSRS Excel Export, Chart image shown compacted

Some days ago I had to modify a SSRS Report in order to add another group. That Report contains a Chart which before this change was properly shown, but now, In the Web Report Viewer It looks ok.
But when exporting to Excel (xls), The Chart looks like to be compacted:
And the user has to expand at least the groups that are aligned with the chart in order to see It well.
I tried to create a Subreport with only the chart embedded, also tried to put the chart inside a rectangle but none of those solutions worked.
In Excel there is a property for the images to indicate not moving nor sizing with cells and It does the trick but I cannot see the property in the Chart stuff.
Do you know how to have the graph displayed properly without having to expand the groups?
I'm working with SSRS 2008 R2.
Just put a rectangle on your report then cut the chart, click in the rectangle and paste it in. That will stop it trying to align with the table.
It's important that you don't just drag the chart onto the rectangle. You must cut and paste it in.

SSRS 2012 Report Page Breaks

Wondering if someone can point me in the right direction. I currently have a report with 5 sub sections of data, each surrounded with a Rectangle.
I am wanting each sub section to appear on a new page and then be able to export to Excel and each section to appear on a new Tab.
I set Page Break / Break Location in each Rectangle to "Start" and label the PageName to what I want to call the Tab. When I run the report the 4 subsections show correctly but I am left with a blank page before I get the 5 section, but when I export it to Excel it appears correctly.
What I want is 5 pages in the report for each section and when exporting I want 5 tabs, can someone tell me where I am going wrong with setting the pagebreaks if that is indeed what I am doing incorrectly.
Thanks
As you are successfully exporting to Excel, but not the report viewer, this suggests your report and page sizes are not correctly set up on your 4th subsection.
When you have report elements that are slightly too large for your report page, the parts that 'overhang' will generate a new page of just the part that overhangs. This is often a very small amount of white space, so it looks like the page is completely blank. When you are exporting to formats such as excel, this does not matter so you correctly see the page breaks as new sheets.
To check whether this is the case, add borders and fills of different colours to all your rectangles and then run the report. On your 4th 'blank' page, if you see any colours or borders you will know which rectangle or report element is growing beyond its page.

SSRS Show Textbox on last page separately

I need to display a Textbox in the body of the report, but it has to be on a separate last page. It is actually a Word file that needs to be shown in each report, but seeing as how the only way to accomplish this is to put the file to the Report Server and then access it with a link, I decided to copy the contents of the file to a Textbox.
This and this question on SE are similar, however it is not exactly what I need.
You can achieve this by adding items with appropriate page breaks to the report.
Say I have a simple report with a table and a textbox:
The end result looks about what you'd expect:
However, we can force the textbox onto a new page by embedding it in a Rectangle and setting the Rectangle to always be preceded by a page break:
Now the report displays the textbox on the last page:
Tables themselves can also have page breaks, but since it's just text with no dataset it makes sense to me to use a Rectangle here.

Display text vertically start from bottom to top in rdlc 2010

I want to display text in column header of ssrs 2010 like below image.
i am able to display text vertically but it will display text top to bottom.
I am using visual studio 2010 and local report (RDLC file).
Version 2008 and earlier don't have this feature, see this Microsoft Connect issue.
For SSRS 2008-R2 you should be able to do this, from the MSDN tutorial:
Create a new report or open an existing report.
If the Properties pane is not open, click the View tab and select the Properties check box.
Click the text box for which you want to change text orientation.
Locate the WritingMode property in the Properties pane and in the drop-down list select the text orientation to apply to the text box.
Note: When the properties in the Properties pane are organized into categories, WritingMode is in the Localization category.
In the list box, select Horizontal, Vertical, or Rotate270.
The Rotate270 value is the option you're looking for.
Although Jeroen is correct in his statement in that it is not possible without the use of Rotate 270, if all you want to do is display a static word (like "Category"?) you can do the below method. Unfortunately, for those that want to display an <<Expr>> in this format, this method obviously would not work.
For those of us that do not have this feature, but still want to implement it, what I did was:
Create the text/textbox I wanted to use in Microsoft word and rotate it to the orientation I wanted to use in my report
Take a screenshot, a snip using the Snipping tool, whatever you want to get an image of the text/textbox
Using the toolbox, insert the snip into your report
This visually looks like it did the trick.
#Liquid Core to your comment, I am not sure how you found these options.
