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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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
