How to properly align lines in report? - reporting-services

I am using SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services. I have a report with a Page Header and Tablix. The Tablix contains fields bound to the DataSet values.
When the report is rendered, it is not showing lines properly aligned to each other. There are gaps between the lines, as show in the image below:
While designing the lines are shown as continuous from Page Header to Tablix end, but when rendered, there are gaps and lines are not continuous.

Tablix header on every page even with blank cells in a rdl report

Is it possible to make my tablix header appear on all pages on the report even when I added in extra blank lines in the report that isn't part of the dataset? For instance, if the blank lines goes on to the last page, the tablix header doesn't appear to be there anymore even when I changed the static to make it repeat on following pages.

SSRS inserting blank page

I have a main report calling three subreports. The subreports are being grouped together by the CourseID field. Page 1 shows course 1 for the first two reports. The third subpreport is for comments. If course 1 has comments, they will show up on page 2. If there were no comments, page 2 will be first two subreports for course 2.
The problem is that a blank page is showing up on page 2 when there are no comments for the course.
I have a tried grouping the three subreports in two different ways, as shown in the attached image. The attempt 1 is the one displaying the issue I just described. Attempt 2 does not insert a blank page, but it does not page break on the comments subreport either. It adds the comments to the bottom of the 2nd report.
I removed the page break between each group instance in the group properties and tablix properties of the 3rd report because it was not making a difference whether or not I had them anyway.
I also have ConsumeWhitespaceContainer enabled on the main report properties. It adds several more empty pages if set to false.
The width margins on all four reports are calculated with the tablix width figured in. The subreport widths in the main report are wider than the actual subreport width as well. subreport groupings in the main report
Is there a setting I am missing in the design view?

SSRS subreport adds blank pages IN BETWEEN the results of the data

I have a report that has a sub-report.
On my main report, the sub-report displays the headers and the data but the data is SPLIT by 2 blank pages when I do a PDF export of it. Everything is fine if I preview the report but when I save it as PDF, there are 2 blank pages in between the sub-report results.
The tablix for the sub-report is set to "keep together" and this has not helped.
I figured this out. If the report is too wide, it'll put that blank space below each page of the report.
The fix was the make sure the width of the report was the right size.

Page break if subreport is having odd number of page in SSRS

I have a main report which contains a subreport only, Sub report is showing some records,
Problem is i am taking print on both side of pages. so i want a page break if subreport is having odd number of pages.
In Reporting Services, page break can only be added between tablix, rectangles and groups within tablix. It's not support to have the page break occurs based on number of records and the current page number.

Tablix (table) in SSRS 2012 not allowing CanGrow=false on tablix cells

I am facing a very weird problem while creating a report in SSRS (I am using sql server 2012 enterprise edition).
This is the structure of my report:
Report columns are in Page Header section, not in tablix header. (I
had to remove report columns from tablix header because I needed my
report to freeze it's header or its column after exporting to excel.
This freezing in excel could be done only when columns are in Page
Header)
Tablix has fields with several groupings.
Now what happens, when I run the report and if any field having a larger string value than the size of tablix cell, it grows badly in width. That makes my report looks ugly. Columns in page header are not aligned with their rows in tablix. Tablix goes out of the report actual width .
For getting rid of this problem, I tried making CanGrow=false of every cell in tablix. I then tried deploying the report, but failed. I got an error: "Report definition is invalid".
The problem is, I can't set CanGrow=false to cells in tablix then how would my report remain stable. How would my columns be aligned with the data in tablix.
I just do not want the cells to grow in width that they are doing right now.
Attaching a screen shot of the report I saw when I have a larger value in a cell. This value is a whole word.
Please help me out. Any help appreciated.
