I've been struggling with this for a while.
In several of the SSRS reports, the text boxes in the page footer, that contain a user's name and the print date of the report, won't align to the right side of the report (see Page 1 - Page Footer image). What's weird is that the last page aligns correctly to the far right, as it is set up in the design view (see Last Page - Page Footer image). I have removed the report user name from the images for security reasons.
Please note, this is not the text alignment inside the box but the box itself.
Page 1 - Page Footer
Page 1 - Page Footer
Last Page - Page Footer
Last Page - Page Footer
Thank you in advance.
I figured out by accident how to resolve this issue. I'm wondering if it's a design issue in SSRS and/or Visual Studio 2013.
I expanded the two text boxes on the right all the way to the left and connected them to to additional text boxes I had on the left side of the page. When I previewed the report the right two text boxes were aligned on to the far right of the page as they should have been. See image below.

I have a report where by the page footer data appears on a pre formatted cheque paper. Therefore, the text box positioning of the footer items cannot change.
The problem is that in my report body I have a tablix. When the row count causes the report to display across more than 1 page, the footer data moves down about half an inch.
I've set the report header to appear only on the first page, and the report footer to appear only on the last page.
Does anybody know of a way to stop this shifting of footer data?
(The first image shows the footer rendered correctly when report on 1 page.
The second image shows the footer data moving down off the page when the report is more than 1 page)
Fixed. Issue was the average price expression in the footer wasn't rounded, pushing the text box down, and with it the rest of the footer data down.
I know about Page Footer, and I know I can make it look like Report Footer by controlling the visibility of Page Footer.
I want Report Footer it only shows in the very last page of the report.
The problem with the work around above is that it will reserve the space for the page footer and because what I want to be in report footer is quiet large in size (almost one third of the page) the Page footer work around is not a good solution.
Anyone has any other idea how to fix that?
I am using SSRS 2008 R2
I tested this and it works.
Right click the textbox or item you want to hide in your footer and go to properties. Click the visibility tab in the properties pane. Check show or hide based on expression and enter this code in the expression:
=IIF(Globals!PageNumber = Globals!TotalPages, False, True)
This will hide your footer for all pages except the last.
I'm working on a SSRS report which has different formats for the first page and the overflow pages. The first page has a large footer that shouldn't be displayed on the overflow pages. I'm hiding it using an expression on current page number but it still occupies space. The body on overflow pages does not span the whole page and leaves a large blank space at the bottom. Is there any way to solve this?
Thanks in advance,

There is not a good way to hide that empty space(As far I know. I did lot of research when I stuck with this issue.).But if you are showing footer only on the first page then add the footer content on the report content part and then set it's visibility depending on the page number. That way you are showing the footer content on first page only. And if you are repeating that page footer on last page that also works depending on condition and it doesn't occupy the empty space on the page.
I am using Reporting Services 2008 and developing a Report which has Page Header and a Page Footer. Currently in my Page Header and Footer I am using multiple items together for example, my footer has to be designed as follows.
Textbox1 ( disclaimer 1)
Textbox2 ( disclaimer 2)
The condition I am using is to show the Textbox2 only on page 1 and show both the textboxes on the page 2 (the final page). When I included both the text boxes as part of the footer and hide the Textbox1 on page1 and show only on page 2 the, I see that although the Textbox1 is Hidden, still see the Space occupied by the textbox1.
I learnt that the size of the header/footer is fixed and can not be changed or does not automatically grow or shrink based on the content.
As a workaround tried having fixed report size ( W 8.5in, H 10.5in ) and Body size ( 8in, 8.5in) and had the Textbox2 as part of the footer and brought Textbox1 outside the footer (just on top of the footer). The Textbox1 on page 2 is not sticking towards the end of the page. It is getting printed towards the content of the page. What exactly to do inorder to have the textbox1 content printed towards the end.
Please note that I need to have this exported as PDF and not as a report viewer. I have noticed that the output alignments for print layout (export) vs. report viewer are different.
Thanks!
The footer space occupied by the textbox1 (although its hidden on page 2 ) can not shrink.
The Textbox1 on page 2 is not sticking towards the end of the page - can not fix.
Looks like both the problems can not be addressed by SSRS. So decided to move to Crystal reports and it has Report header/footer and page header/footer which solved my problem.
If you set TextBox1 and textBox2 to the smallest possible height and set the autogrow properties of both textboxes to Auto, then shrink your footer to the smallest possible size this should solve your space problem. as the header / footer will expand and contract with the size of the textboxes
when you say "The Textbox1 on page 2 is not sticking towards the end of the page".
i am assuming you mean one of the textboxes is moving when textbox1 is made visible,
if that is the case, instead of setting the visibility property of textbox one, try set the Font Color property to match your background color effectively making the box invisible.
I hope that all makes sense.
Has anyone had this issue? Does anyone have a work around for this issue?
When the table header is set to ReapetOnNewPage = true and then the page breaks right on the last detail row, so the only thing left to display is the footer with the Totals: row, the header overlaps the footer row so it can not be displayed.
If the page breaks before the footer, it will do it correctly and on the next page will print the detail row then the footer row. But if only the footer is pushed to the next page, the repeated header covers it.
I know its being covered, because the border for the footer shows through on the edge.
You could try adding an extra blank footer row above your actual footer so that the header wouldn't overlap, but I'm afraid that may not look right when everything actually works as planned.
This appears to have been fixed with SSRS 2008 R2.
