I am creating an access report with sub-reports with data in the details section. There are too many rows of data to fit on the page when printing the report, so a page break happens automatically. (I want the page break to happen, that's not the problem.)
My problem is that the last row on the page is being stretched to fill the page vertically. I would like it to be the same height as the other rows.
Is there a property that controls weather or not the last line of detail will stretch to the bottom of the page or not? Or is this intended (to show the reader that the data continues on the next page)?
I have tried setting the following properties of the Detail Section in my sub report: Can Grow, Can Shrink and Auto Height. I have also tried the Fit To Page property of the sub report itself within the report. But I still get a slightly taller last line at the bottom of the page.
Maybe I'm not googling the right words, I'm new to MS Access and access reports. I use Microsoft® Access® for Microsoft 365.
Im working on a Report with a coverpage. So the body has no margins and the full page is useable.
The report also has no Headers or footers because the coverpage must cover the whole page.
For tablix i set a row with empty textboxes to get white space between the page border and the tablix. But if a tablix gets so much data that 1 site is not enough, the data will go to the very edge of the page and start at the very top of the new page.
How can i enter space at these points so data isnt at the edge of the page?
I was unable to find a method that worked in this case.
So the BackEnd dev requested for me to split the two reports into the Coverpage and visual data area. That way i can have footers and my colleague simply merges both reports back together when its being requested.
I have some SSRS reports that are generated via a subscription. They Get PDF'd and dropped on a share. The way the report was designed there is a potential for one record (or row if you will) to take up more than one page. I would like to know if it is possible to insert a blank page only after a single record/row takes up more than one page. This includes not showing any headers or footers on the blank page.
I've tried adding a text box with a form feed character to the end of the page, which did not work. I also tried creating a text box that is wider than the page (using an expression to control it's visibility) but that just forced the body of the report to be larger than the report's width which caused blank pages to show up everywhere.
Any help would be great.
I have a report that requires specific formatting so that it can print to a page of Avery labels. I have set up the report to be two tables side by side to represent the two columns of labels. When I export the report to MS Word and print, the items line up perfectly within each on label on the actual sheet. However, when I export to PDF, my top margin is too big so the alignment with the labels on the paper is off. Does anyone know how to make the PDF export respect my top margin?
Page Size: 8.5in x 11in
Margins:
Top = 0.505in
Bottom = 0.3in
Left = 0.24in
Right = 0.31in
SSRS honors two major render formats. First, the soft page-break render includes the report preview, Word, Excel, and HTML and is more designed for reports which are displayed on a screen. To the contrary, the hard page-break format is utilized by pdf and image format among others, and is more designed for physical printing of reports. A soft break render uses InteractivePageSize as a guide for displaying the report and generally ignores the Margin settings; the hard break format adheres strongly to the PageSize settings and also to the Margins.
These are the main features of each one:
Soft page breaks:
Margins are not applied
Inserted, explicit, or forced page breaks are honored
Report sizes can adjust to include orphaned and oversize objects in a report
Hard page breaks:
Pages moves left to right and then top to bottom
Inserted, explicit, or forced page breaks are honored
Items that are set to keep together may still be pushed to a next page if not enough spaces exists
These two render formats are driven by two report properties found in the Page Category section of report properties. The InteractiveSize Width and Height control the size of the soft page-break render formats. When an object is displayed using one of the hard break renderers, then the PageSize and Margins properties are used.
I tried creating a report using a sub report. When I exported it to PDF I have noticed that there are extra blank pages in the PDF.
I made it clear that body width + left margin+ right margin <= report width.
But still it gives the blank page. sub report as individual working great.
Also I am calling the sub report from with in a list in main report.
I tried to set up a page break after list . but it looks like its not working.
I want the next list displayed on a new page.
How do I achieve these.
There is no single property available for this in SSRS. You have to check for couple of settings
In report properties, set "ConsumeContainerWhitespace" to TRUE
In tablix properties, set page braek location to NONE
IF still the issue persists, check alignment/margin of objects like rectangle,tablix etc.
A few things to look for:
Check the "parent" and subreport for any controls that are in your margins (or may grow into the margins). Setting the width doesn't necessarily force the controls to that width.
check for any controls that overlap. I've had strange things happen because of that (especially in SSRS 2005).
checking the "Print Layout" while previewing helps find most issues like this at design time (before exporting to PDF).
For the hard break with your list not sure what is goofy there. I usually use a table with groups and set the page breaks on the appropriate group. Depends on the data though.

Check top and Bottom margins, for me reducing.1 of bottom margin solved the issue.
In my case (with Report Builder 2017) the solution to get rid of a blank extra-page was to reduce the width of the body.
The body can be selected by clicking on a free space in the report on the same height than the Tablix is located.
You then get the "Body properties" shown in which you can reduce the size.
The size of the body should be less than page width - left margin - right margin.
For me it was a problem with the sub report's width which caused extra blank pages in the exported version. Reducing the width solved the issue.
If still someone having an issue with blank pages in PDF, just increase the width of the main report to a few inches. Keep reducing to an optimum value by checking the report. No need to change anything else.
For me when I increase the width for pagesize report from 21 to 23 cm,
It was not generating extra empty page. Because of few elements total
size of my report's element was greater than 21 and less than 23, that
is why I changed to 23cm and works for me.
In my case I have only one page and I was working with .rdl file.
When exporting to pdf and the report contains a sub report where the sub report is grouped on an item from parent report.
Do not use the list control in the parent report to group sub report. Use the table control.
The list control will cause blank pages while the table control does not
