SSRS - No Rows Formatting Dropped in PDF - reporting-services

In SSRS, I have a bunch of subreports in a report. Within each subreport, I have a No Rows message. For each of those messages I have the TextAlign set to Center. When I run the report in the Design View in Visual Studio or within the Report Viewer in a browser, the TextAlign property is respected; however, when Print Preview within Visual Studio or export to PDF from Visual Studio or from a browser, all formatting of the No Rows message is dropped. Does anyone know why this occurs? I've put before and after pictures below. The first picture is in the report viewer and the second is in a PDF export.

Extra blank page added to the end of SSRS report when it is exported as Word document from Dynamics 365 on-premise report

I have created a custom SSRS report which is ran from an Invoice record in Dynamics 365 on-prem.
If the report consists of more than one page and I choose to export the report as a Word document, an extra blank page is added to the end of the report. If the report only consists of one page, the extra page is not added.
When the report is exported as a PDF, or a printer-friendly PDF version of the report is generated via the print button, the extra page is not there.
The blank page, when looked at in Word, only shows the page number in the footer and a carriage return at the very top of the page.
There were issues with extra white-space in this report previously, which was resolved by setting ConsumeContainerWhitespace to True.
I have looked at every textbox, rectangle, tablix on the report looking for a possible cause of this blank page, but have not been able to find one. There are no PageBreaks added before, between, or after any elements on the report.
If the items continue from the first page, to the second page, the report should only be two pages long. If the report has items on 3 pages, there should only be 3 pages in the report, etc.
After spending a lot longer than anticipated on this issue, I came here to ask for some assistance. The report should not have any blank sheets in it.

SSRS Page Breaks with Named Tabs

I have a report that is broken into three pages. When the report is exported as an Excel file I need the tabs to be named correctly.
My report is in this format:
First Page:
Table
Chart - I have the Chart Properties set to Add a page break after.
Second Page:
Matrix - I have the Tablix Properties set to Add a page break after.
Third Page:
Chart
Chart
I am currently using this version of Visual Studio to create the report if that matters.
I have found some useful links about adding page breaks on row groups, but I don't see anything about breaking on the entire matrix or a chart.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011: Report Viewer Print Scale

I've created a report with MS SQL Server Report Builder. When I export a PDF from the Report Viewer, I can set the scale to 100% in Acrobat Reader and it will print perfectly. But when I print it directly from the CRM Report Viewer, every element will scale down.
In the picture you can see two variants. In the background is the PDF Version and in the front is the CRM Report Viewer Version.
Here is the print Problem:
Very important for me is the bottom part (with the #). You can see that it starts on the same position on the right side, but it ends differently on the left side.
Why does this happen?
I've tried many things like changing the InteractiveSize, but nothing helps.
What I need is, that both print variants (PDF and Report Viewer) look the same and have the original size and position like in the report builder.
Any ideas/solutions?
When you use the CRM Report Viewer it uses your default printer settings in
Windows. Try to edit your default printer settings removing margins.

Export SSRS report along with drilldown

I have an SSRS report that has a drilldown sub-report. How can I include the drilldown subreports along with the main report when exporting to PDF? Thanks
When exporting report into PDF, if you want to display the subreport, you can only expand the subreport part and then export. I don't think there's any workaround on this goal because the render behavior of PDF file is just like a snapshot of the report. And in PDF, there's no function which support expand/collapse page or part of context within a page.
Try this,
=iif(Globals!RenderFormat.Name="PDF",FALSE,TRUE)

SSRS report losses formatting in Report Manager via Internet Explorer

I have a report that renders a report header on its own page and then two pages for each member that it finds. The report will render each page correctly for the report header and the first member listed but all formatting is lost when the page changes to the second member (page 4 overall). Once this happens all formatting is lost for the entire report: right aligned becomes left, tablix table loses boarders, font changes, etc. It looks very much like when a webpage loses connection to it CSS file. When I navigate back to the first member the formatting is lost here as well and I cannot navigate back to the report header page. I have to navigate back to page two then back to page one twice for the report header page to reappear.
To make things more complicate the report renders as expected in BIDS, report Builder 3.0 and Firefox. The report has worked before from the Report Manager via Internet Explorer (IE) and only recently started to fail. There have only been minor changes since it last ran well form Report Manager via IE and I have investigated them all. I ran copies of the source from both IE and Firefox through an html validator at W3 Schools and they both had the same exact errors that is typical of Microsoft rendered XHTML. The interesting issues is when you have the failed formatted report rendered in Report Manager via IE and then choose to export the file as a PDF or MHTML the exports render the same as expected when looking at BIDS or Report Builder 3.0 including the MHTML viewed via IE.
I really have no idea how to solve this issue and have tried many different approaches to resolve. Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
I just observed similar behavior where my report rendered fine in BIDS, but when deployed to reporting services (2008R2), it rendered incorrectly. In my case, after looking at 2 pages of the report, the third page lost all formatting. Then when I went back to pages 1 and 2, the formatting was lost as well.
The change I made that caused this behavior was very simple. I set the Hidden property for the same text box back to True.
The fix was to do the opposite, set the Hidden property for a text box back to False. In order to hide the box, I changed the font color to match the page background color. This set of workarounds worked for me. The loss of formatting definitely appears to be a bug in the rendering engine of reporting services.
the Header in the subreport that i had i removed it first and then added it again and set the the show page header and footer to falst. this did the trick in formatting to the PDF correctly/
