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.
best.

On my SSRS report I have set the Report Properties to Landscape, paper size to Tabloid and 17 width by 11 height with 0.25 margin. After I deployed the report and ran it on the web. Followed by exporting to Excel and printed it and it did not come out the format I have set on SSRS. Also, the I have bold the report lines by section based on the group and in Excel the bold report lines are not there.Please advise. I am thinking of moving to Crystal report might solve the problem. Any ideas. Thanks.
This isn't quite how page size works in SSRS. When you set the page size attribute, this will really only effect two things in SSRS.
How the report is displayed online. This is set via the Interactive Page Size setting, and really, only the height matters here.
Page Size sets the page size on the PDF export. We have this because PDFs are supposed to be a portable format, commonly used for printing.
Excel doesn't have this attribute as a part of the file. If you want to print to a specified page size/format, that's all handled at the time of printing by the print dialog.
I have an access 2007 application that has a few reports.
With some of the reports the images in the footer are displayed when I go into print preview or print the report.
But with others I can see the images in design view, but when I go to print preview I cannot see them.
Is there a setting or something that you can set to a report that doesn't show the images in a report?
I read some where, it's something to do with the printer drivers, but since the images work in some reports, I don't think that is the case
any ideas?
Thanks
When the report is displayed, there is a check box at the very top ribbon that says 'Print data Only', that was ticked, once unticked the images were displayed.
So I have 1 report, and I need two different version of it when I export to Excel and export to PDF.
I already know how to hide certain report items depending on it being PDF or Excel, but the other problem I'm having is that the table I'm hiding is very wide.
It's for the excel version of the report, which is fine. However, the PDF version of the report now has blank pages because the body of the report is bigger than portrait page size.
Any ideas?
After an exhaustive search, i've basically come to the conclusion that "no, you can't"
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/
I am using Reporting services,
I want to print out my report in landscape-format, and not in portrait-format, is there a property or any mode I have to change that I can create a landscape-formatted report?
You need to click outside of the body of the report (where the red box is)
This will bring up the Report Properties (my properties tab shows up on the right)
Here, you need to swap the height and width of the `PageSize' Field
Then when SSRS tries to decide if this should be a portrait or a landscape it will know, without a doubt, that this is a landscape Report.
You can select the report property (right click on the background) and specify the paper size and the orientation there.
that is what it uses for printing
I am using Visual Studio 2010 with Business Intelligence Studio 2012
The report settings from VS2010 is working well for setting paper size, orientation and margins. (As suggested by Malachi, but just giving VS screenshots)
This can be accessible from VS menu as pictured below:
I believe that you can't do that explicitly.
I searched on the same question in context with SQL-2008.
Result was that RS decides by itself, based on content.
But I can prove it by giving you some link.
EDIT
I searched especially in context of tablix report.
Note: Sometimes you can have this set correctly and the printer simply ignores the settings and does whatever it's internal properties are set to. One work around to that is to print to PDF and then print the PDF document. Another is to manually change the printer properties before printing the document.
