I have one label which is taking value from database.And the value of label is more than 20 lines.
While displaying that label in pdf ,if label is very big then it is rendering on second page and my first page is half blank.
so I want to break that label on two pages so it will start on first page only and then it will break and then it will render on second page.What can i do for that?
Unfortunately, determining where to put page breaks on the fly is a weak point of SSRS.
Perhaps you could break up the long text into multiple rows in the data source (splitting on spaces between words). This would result in funny looking breaks in the output as you won't know for sure where the break will appear in a line on the printed report.
If the text has reasonably sized paragraphs, you could parse it out that way instead using line breaks.

I am writing an SSRS report that contains a (nested) tablix. The last row of the inner tablix can contain a "large" chunk of text (say, between half a page to 3 pages typically).
With, say, half a page's worth of text in the last row, the report looks great on the Report Server, but when I render it as a PDF, a newline gets inserted before the last row. This puts that whole row/box on a page of its own.
What I want, instead, is for the row to remain attached to the rest of the tablix, and just render until it his the bottom of the page, and then do a newline and move on with the rest of the row.
Is this possible?
I was able to fix this issue myself. I clicked on the last row/cell in the tablix and disabled "Keep Together on One Page". This allowed it to split in the middle, so it didn't need to jump to the next page to stay together.
Having a strange issue when in jquery datatables where a column will resize and wrap contence when it contains a url like "http://foo.bar.co.uk?test=true&derp=reallyLongParam12345678901234578" it breaks it onto 2 lines at the ? however when it contains a link like "http%3A%2F%2Fdirectproducts.go2cloud.org%2Faff_c%3Foffer_id%3D149&aff_id=1041&aff_sub=white_bluepreland"
It doesn't know how to split this.
Is there anyway to specify more characters that it can split to the next line with as it is causing my table to be wider than the screen.
Note
The badly formated url has been fixed and is just an example
I have a small issue when rendering my report.
I'm pulling a list of objects on an agreement, each object has an undefined character length, some consist of several lines of text, others a single line.
Issue is, each row that contains a large amount of text is moving to a new page in entirety, what I would like to happen is that the row split across on to the next page.
In other words, if a page can only take 5 more lines/rows and a single row hold 15 lines of text, then I want the first 5 lines of the row on the bottom of the current page and then the remaining 10 lines of text moved to the top of the next page.
I've played with all the row grouping settings in SSRS with no luck.
I hope my explanation makes sense.
Thanks in advance,
Dane
Rather than break a row into multiple pages, have you considered transforming your data set by breaking large rows up into multiple smaller rows?
I have minimal experience with HTML script so this may all go horribly wrong here.
Alright so I have a very simple yet very time consuming task of taking complete papers and converting them into HTML script. I'm using Sublime Text 3 with Emmet plugin.
Basically,
This is the first header
This is the first paragraph that needs to be tagged
This is the second header
This is the second paragraph that needs to be tagged
So super simple I need to put header tags on the headers and paragraph tags on the paragraphs.
What I have been doing is holding Ctrl and manually highlighting the desired text as it is all rather random. Problem is that takes forever to manually highlight the text like that.
I am aware of other ways to highlight such as Ctrl + L for the line. Problem is my close tags end up under the highlighted line.
Example:
<h2>This is the first header
</h2><p>This is the first paragraph that needs to be tagged
</p>
It's not a big deal but it makes the code harder to go through later and really chaotic.
The same problem persists if I click the corresponding number of the line.
Seeing as I have hundreds of pages to enter and even more headers, paragraphs, and pictures to properly tag; I'm looking for a solution to the tag dropping below the line or a faster method to entering text.
So, is there a fast method for entering text from a word document to Sublime text and quickly get the corresponding tags? e.g. <h2>,<h3>,<p>,<ul>,<li> and so on.
Any help will save my sanity, thanks.
When you select a line with CtrlL, it automatically selects the entire line, and moves the cursor down to the first position on the following line. There are two ways around this. The first is to place the cursor in the first position on the line you want to select, then just hit ShiftEnd and the line will be selected, with the cursor now sitting in the last position on that same line. Alternatively, use CtrlL, then hit Shiftâ (left arrow) to move the cursor from the first position on the next line to the last position on the selected line. Either way, you can now hit the key combo in Emmet for inserting a tag pair, and you're all set.
I have a report in SQL Server Reporting Services 2005. It makes use of a page header and footer and has no subreports. The body portion contains a few smaller elements and then a simple single column table. The table has a single header row and a single detail row. The header is just a label, basically. The detail row is a single textbox with a simple Fields!FieldName.Value as its output.
The problem is that FieldName, in this case, is a highly variable length string. It can be a sentence up to 8000 characters (usually no more than 2 pages worth). The text can contain line/paragraph breaks (returns) but no other special formatting. Everything is fine so long as the content fits on one page. Once the text exceeds a single page (8.5x11), the text is very nastily cut off abruptly. Since this is a pagination problem, it is only visible when exporting to PDF or when viewing the report in Print Layout.
It seems as though there is a maximum size the row can grow to on the first page and then it chops it off and starts it up on the second. But this cutoff is not carefully managed in relation to the text. It can occur right in the middle of a line, causing it to show the top halves of the letters on the first page and the bottom halves at the top of the second page.
Obviously, this is unacceptable, as it looks very unprofessional and can impair the readability of the line that was so messily split. I also can never be sure it'll split badly, as sometimes it more or less ends the page evenly, though usually I can still see the hanging tails of certain letters on the next page (g and p for instance).
The secondary problem is that I'd really like the table row header to repeat on each page. Setting the obvious property, "RepeatOnNewPage" has no effect. I suspect this is because it's still trying to show the single really vertically tall row. It seems like it's okay repeating headers and splitting pages nicely between detail rows. But because this is basically just a big block of text, and thus just one really tall row, it doesn't split it nicely.
What can I do or use to solve this problem? I can live without the repeating header so long as it just doesn't cut off text in the middle of a line.
Unfortunately, page break fine tuning is one of the biggest weak points of SSRS.
I can only suggest that you break up the long text into multiple rows before SSRS ever gets it. You'd want to parse the text to look for word breaks. The result will be odd looking breaks in the output since you won't know where the break will come on a line in the printed report. However, it'd be much more readable than cutting text in half.
If the text is comprised of reasonably sized paragraphs, you could parse it out that way instead.
You might even go so far as to measure the text using SQLCLR and the System.Drawing.Graphics.MeasureString method to fine tune the output but I wouldn't recommend that route for the feint of heart.
In SSRS 2008 R2 and Visual Studio 2008:
Click (not-right click) a textbox and go to the properties window (lower right side of VS) -> KeepTogether = false.
The text will cleanly cut between a line and continue on the next page.
Just thought to add here as searching for this doesn't return many results.
I have done what JC has suggested in the past where I've broken down the text into paragraphs and each paragraph would in effect be its own row. Works pretty well given the limitations of SSRS.
One thing to be careful about is that you would need to make sure that your paragraphs sort properly. In most cases it would display them in the correct order, but adding in a column with sortID to give some sorting hints to the table would probably be a good idea.
In the end, the cut-off-text problem was due to non-standard padding on the textbox in question.
For whatever reason, having padding any greater than the defaults (2pt all around) seemed to cause its pagination to go sour. I imagine it is due to the algorithm not taking padding into consideration when deciding where to break the paragraph. With default padding, the line always ends cleanly and nicely on each page.
As a workaround (since I liked the extra white space the padding gave to the layout), I used a rectangle to achieve the border and made the textbox inside it smaller than the rectangle by about an eighth of an inch. This gave the box some inner padding while still apparently allowing the pagination to correctly determine when to break up lines.
Still, a lot of unnecessary headache.
