SSRS Report Footer - reporting-services

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.

SSRS report creating empty second page in PDF format only

I have a SSRS report that fits in one page. When saving it in PDF or Word, a empty second page is created. My borders as set to 0.25 inches. Any ideas on what can be done to prevent printing the second empty page?
Check for these things:
The report body width - if your report width (different than report body) is 8.5in. and you have .25in. left and right margins. Then your report body width has to be 8in. or less.
Page breaks - check your dataset(s) and rectangle (if any) properties to see if you have page break options checked, either "add a page break before" or "add a page break after".
White space - remove any white space from the bottom of your last dataset to the bottom of the report by dragging the bottom edge higher.
I was able to resolve this extra page my moving the footer area next to the bottom of the tablix grid with zero padding in between.

SSRS Text Box Alignment - Page Footer

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.

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.

SSRS whitespace between body and footer

I have a report that looks good in view report, but when I print the report there is an extra space between the body and the footer.
Any help would be appreciated.
Screen shot
Don't use a footer if you don't want the white space. A footer will always appear at the bottom of a page and a header at the top. Move the content of your footer to the body of your report by either creating another tablix underneath or inserting a new row outside of all your current row groups. To get the page break select the last (bottom) row in your body, select 'tablix properties', then on the general tab select 'add page break after.'
Okay seems issues due to those hidden rows.
Do one thing, copy all your tablix/textbox or whatever the controls you have used inside the body part and add one rectangle with the same size it was previously using for your tablix.
Now, paste your copy part inside the rectangle and check.
It will definitely work.
Let me know, if you need more help on this.
Thanks.

Make footer appear at the bottom of Report Page even if there is no data

I'm working on SSRS Report.
How to make footer appear at the bottom of Report page, when there is no data to show in tablix?
Currently all reports footer is appearing immediate next to the Tablix Last Row. It should always appear at the bottom of every page whether data is present or not.
Please help me!
Put an empty Rectangle item to the right of your data tablix, with it's height as the minimum height you want the report body to take up. Even if the tablix has no data, the Rectangle will act as a minimum height.
In my screenshots the rectangle is blue and the footer is yellow to highlight what happens. You can make your rectangle whatever colour and width you want. From my testing in SSRS 2008 R2, this still works even if the rectangle has no colour and the report's ConsumeContainerWhitespace property is True.
If you're printing the report or exporting it to PDF etc., you shouldn't have to worry about this. The page size of the print/export will automatically put the footer at the very bottom of each page, regardless of the body contents.

SSRS 2008 - PDF - Dynamic footer size or text box towards the end of 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.
