Hi I am relaive new to RapidMiner,
I am trying to get a good looking report working, using the reporting extension.
When I display a histogram chart, with the standard width and height (800x600) the bottom part is cut off. See Example
If I manually change it to 800x800 the chart is displayed correctly.
The problem is that the chart will changed, based on the input, so I would manually have to check if it fits.
Is there any way to scale the chart to fit the given space e.g. 800x600?
Edit2: This is how the Report operator and the Generate Report operator are set up:
I notice that the page settings in Generate Report are for portrait mode whilst the settings in the Report operator are for landscape. If you change image width to 600 and image height to 800 in the Report operator, I suspect this might resolve the issue for you.
It is confusing however, I noticed that Generate Report ignores changes to the page size settings - this is likely to be a bug. It's also confusing that increasing the image dimensions shrinks the rendered image. I'm afraid it's trial and error. I don't think the image will change between runs, the size is fixed by the dimensions you give it.

We have been trying to export SSRS reports into pdfs and trying to print them.
The pdf on printing prints smaller sizes of the fonts.
The digital version looks right. We have used custom sizes on some of the reports and some use A4.
But this problem occurs on both. Are there any compatibility issues that we need to verify or any config changes. Pls suggest.
Any ideas would be very helpful.
Check your margins and report width.
The report Body width + the margins must be equal to or less than the Paper Size width.
You may be going over the margins for your printer and your PDF reader is scaling it to fit on a page.
You can check by looking at the PRINT options and making sure that it doesn't Shrink Oversized pages or Fit to page. Mine has an Actual Size setting.
Tried this. But we still do have issues printing some of the reports. Right now we are tweaking the margins and the fonts to make sure each report prints fine.
We wanted to know if there is any other way to achieve this.
My report is setup perfectly for print layout. When I look at the report in my SSRS server as a webpage everything, tables/charts etc, are on the very left edge of the screen. Is there a way I can change padding or margins based on the view I'm in? So if I'm in the standard web view everything is bumped over half an inch, but if I'm in print preview that extra half inch is gone?
I might be missing the point though.
SSRS reports have 2 size types:
Interactive Size - specifies the default size of pages when rendering the report in an interactive renderer.
Page Size - specifies the width and height for the report
These sizes are set at the Report properties level. Adjusting these should give you the desired results.
I'm implementing a Gantt Chart in SSRS via the Horizontal Range Chart and notes I found here (http://pnarayanaswamy.blogspot.com/2010/09/range-bar-chart-gantt-chart-using-ssrs.html). I've successfully implemented the Gantt Chart plus some additions so it can span multiple pages (DynamicHeight based on # of rows). My problem is that no matter what I do, I end up with double blank pages at the end of the report. I.e. if my Gantt chart is 10 pages, I'll have 10 blank pages at the end.
Any ideas? It's most definitely not a margin issue, as I've removed everything from the report except the Gantt Chart and then made it 1" wide and still get the double-pages issue. It is always exactly double the # of pages it should be. I've turned on all borders to see if there are any dynamically expanding boxes that might cause this but nothing is showing up. I'm open to ideas from anyone who has experienced anything similar. This is probably rare, though, as charts don't typically span multiple pages.
Thanks for your help.

Even though you've explored a lot of the options, this still sound like a width issue. certainly a width issue: have you checked the width of the "Body" (That's the name that will show in the Properties pane.) You can find this by clicking on a blank part of the report, the background, and then use the properties pane to alter the width (The Body Properties dialog doesn't have options to change this.) Another way of changing these is by dragging the border of the page around in the designer.
Make sure that the width of the Body is less than your page width minus margins. Those, as it sounds like you know, are set in Report menu -> Report Properties.
I currently have a Matrix within an SSRS report. Usually, the matrix will fix to a standard page in portrait mode, however there are cases where the length of the columns will exceed a page. Is there a way to have SSRS render the report to a PDF where this Matrix would auto-size and shrink all of it's contents, ie: font, column widths to fit within a page? I don't want to shrink all objects in the SSRS report to fix the page, just the width of the Matrix.
If you were dealing with height, I would say that that's not a tablix configuration. The tablix would be only expanding because of the columns. And the columns would be expanding because the textboxes that are inside them expand.
So, you would need to deal with it on each textbox by Right clicking the textbox inside the column and select "text box properties". On the general tab uncheck "allow height to increase".
Strangely there isn't an option to width. This link tells about the CanGrow and CanShrink properties but I wasn't able to make it work. Maybe if you want to give it a try.
-> Go to report tab
-> Select the Report Properties
-> Select Paper Size "Letter" and "Width & Height" as per standards ("8.5 * 11" or "11*8.5")
Despite the downvote, Nawaz has the correct answer
To fit it to a specific page, especially for pdf output, then you set the size to A4. I always have three templates for this purpose, screen, pdfland and pdfport. I resize my headers, footers, titles and corporate imagery for each of these templates. It's a pain, but you can incentivise your users to ditch the pdfs and the printing and the paper by creating decent dashboards for them so they have live data to hand. That's really the only decent way I've found of getting them out of old and poor habits
So either right click outside the body of the report and select Report properties, or select it from the properties window tab at the right of the screen, then set the size to either letter or A4. It's not ideal, but if you do not limit the report size in this manner any dynamic columns will render outside the pdf and create multiple pages that need to be stuck together later
edit: If you really need to resize in a hurry, you can open the report as code, and use the replace function to reduce the size, however it is often easier to reposition the tables by hand
I have an SSRS 2005 report, the report has two groups and one nested table inside of a group, the report is displayed correctly in VS as two pages, but when trying to export it to PDF I get 17 pages and the only correct pages I get are at the end of the PDF file.
Check the grid vs the Page Size.
If you Page Size is set to 8.5" x 11 and you have 1" margins and your Grid (The "white" part of the report) goes beyond the margins, you will get overflow on to other pages.
If you look at the picture below, you can see the grid goes just beyond the 7" mark. My interactive snf Page Sizes are set to 8.5 x 11. This exports fine. A good way to check is to switch to "Print Layout" mode. You can do this by clicking on the little icon that looks like a white piece of paper on a green background just to the right of the Printer Icon. When you view it this way, you get a pretty good idea of how it will be exported.
I have run into this problem before, generally a Table or Rectangle control will inadvertently push to the edge of the Grid and in turn increase the size of the Grid beyond your paper size and margins.
Yes, but it's been a (long) while since I worked with SSRS. I remember having adjusted rsreportserver.config
This link should help:
Customizing rendering extensions
The link is just the result of quick googling. Didn't read it through.
I had to adjust values for i.e. border width and so on, which are by default somehow a mess. And if that doesn't help, you have to adjust your report.
