How to repeat text box in every page in ssrs - reporting-services

Is it possible to repeat textbox in every page without giving it on the page header in SSRS. Because before this textbox I have few data to be displayed in the 1st page. So if I put both in page header and making visibility hide for the data that should appear only in 1st page, then in other pages excess header space will come..
So is it possible to repeat text box or table in every page?

You can look into the "RepeatWith" property of your textbox, which should appear on every page where the target component will be present. It should work even if there are other elements before, between or after them.
You could also put the textbox in a table's header, put the rest of your report inside that table's body, and then repeat the table header on every page. However this sounds very painful to implement and maintain, I would avoid that solution unless absolutely necessary.

Creating a footer in SSRS Report Builder Vs. 2016 without using the standard Footer function "Make footer"

i need to create a footer that can stay at the bottom of every pages of the report, but i can't use the standard function because i need to hide some element before it self.
I hope that i've explained correctly!
Somebody can help me?
If I've understood you correctly, you should be able to do this by creating rectangles to hold your report content.
If you need a header, body and footer then you would need 3 rectangles, if you only need the main body and a footer then 2 rectangles.
For simplicity, let's say you page is 29cm high and the bottom 6cm will contain the footer.
You create a rectangle that is 23cm high and wide enough to hold the elements you need in it. Then your seconds rectangle immediately below will be 6cm.
Within each rectangle, place you report elements (text boxes, tables etc).
Note: If you already have the report elements in your report, do not drag them over the rectangle as this will literally overlay them, instead, select everything you ned, then cut them. Then click in the rectangle to make it active and paste them, this way the rectangle will be the container. If you are creating the elements from new then you can add them within the rectangle as normal.
Once all your body and footer elements are in position, change the 'ConsumeContainerWhiteSpace' property of Report to true. This property will prevent the rectangle from expanding as the number of rows in a table gets larger, as it will use the space in the container first.

Is it possible to force page breaks when styling for printing?

I have a web page consisting of a dynamically generated report and when printing out the page, it usually spans to multiple printed pages. The content is grouped within divs and when printing a lot of times the content within the divs will get cut from one page to the next. Is there any way to style this so that if a div gets cut from one page to the next, instead somehow have a page break inserted so that each page will only contain the divs in their entirety (with no cut-offs)?
you must use page-break
here is a doc

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.

Alternate Blank Page on SSRS

I have made a change to a Subreport on SSRS. The subreport should display on the last page of the whole report.
However when running this report as a PDF, a blank page is generated on every alternate page.
The margins and page size have not changed.
What is most likely happening is that part of your report is too wide, and the extra space is printing on the second page. It's usually the report body (it can change as you add columns to your tables) - I would check that first. Just look at the properties and make sure the width isn't wider than what will print on your page.
If you're having trouble identifying which section the extra width is coming from, try changing the background colors on the header, body and footer sections. Set each of them to a different color, then print the report to pdf. You’ll see the colors in the pdf and be able to identify which one is too wide.
Also, make sure you add the margins into your total width as well. If you have .5" margins and can only print 8.5" wide, then your report can't be wider than 7.5"

How can I have a 10cm page footer only on the last page

I am using reporting services 2012 and want to display a group of elements at the bottom of the last page.
I have tried putting this in the footer and hiding the elements for all but the last page, however this doesn't work very well as there is a large blank space at the bottom of all of the preceding pages.
If there was a way of aligning the elements to the bottom of a page that would work, but I cant see any way of doing that. If there was a way to push the elements to the bottom of the page using a rectangle that has a dynamic height, that would also work, but I also cannot find a way of doing that.
Any suggestions?
Unfortunately, page headers and footers must be one constant size in SSRS. That is why you are getting all of that whitespace, and as far as I know, there is no workaround for this.
However, what you can do is page break at the end of your main table / report. Then have another table display the elements you want. Make this second table the height of a full page and put the elements at the bottom. Go into the Tablix Properties and check "Keep together on one page if possible".
If the second table doesn't work, try a subreport.
If you want to have the footer on the same page as the last page of data, this doesn't work. The only way I know of to do that is a major hack: check how many rows come back from the database and calculate how much space they will need to display. Then at the end calculate how big of a rectangle you need to make in between your main table and your second table to push it to the bottom of the page.
