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.

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'm working on SSRS Reports.
Currently I am facing one issue. I have two tablix in a single Report. Now, Tablix1 or Tablix2 will be visible in either condition.
For example: I am passing One Flag as True then Tablix1 should be visible and for this layout would be Landscape and I am passing Flag Value as False then Tablix2 should be visible and for that layout would be Portrait.
For Show/Hide Tablix I am having solution but what about orientation?
How can I achieve this in SSRS Reports? Can anyone please help me or guide me?
Thanks in advance!!
I can only answer this question in regard to 2012, but it is not possible to achieve this with a single report. Please see my caveat below. In SSRS, you have two properties that determine the size of the report and where breaks should occur. InteractiveSize determines the size of the page when viewed in interactive formats (i.e., RDL or MHTML4.0). For all other report formats (e.g., Word, PDF, Excel, CSV), the PageSize determines the size of the page when viewed in those non-interactive formats.
In SSRS 2012 as well as earlier versions, expressions are not accepted in the InteractiveSize or PageSize fields. This means you cannot reference variables or parameters or field values.
Caveat
I took an existing report I had created with a page size of 8.5" (width) by 11" (height) that is normally two or three pages wide. I then created a blank report and added an 11" x 8.5" subreport pointing to my original report. When I exported this to PDF, I got an 11" (wide) by 8.5" (tall) PDF with the spacing and page breaks as you would expect for a landscape document. However, when I exported to Word, Microsoft Word crashed and burned. This may have something to do with the fact that the PDF exporter uses hard page breaks and the Word exporter uses soft page breaks. In any event, depending on what you need, you may be able to use a single report (i.e., a single place where the logic and datasets are set up once only) and then reference that report as a subreport elsewhere with a different page size. Just be sure to thoroughly test the result in any allowed export formats.
I hope this helps!
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.
I was wondering if there anyway to manipulate the position and size of the text boxes for the parameters in SSRS 2005. They generally take up a large part of the top of the page and I want to prevent that if possible.
I don't think this is possible with the out of the box Report Manager. You might be able to achieve some control by tweaking the style sheet.
if you just need to control parameter order they will be rendered in the order they are defined in the designer.
you could probably create an html page that is a front end to the report and then set the parameters via URL access.

I have a SSRS report. I am using grouping and my report is having n number of pages.
Is it possible to have the html display of the report in a single page with out page break and the exported version( pdf, excel) have the page break). Any idea. Please share some thoughts.
Thanks in advance

Short answer: Set the InteractiveHeight = 0
According to Microsoft:
Soft page breaks are calculated at run
time by the control. Although it is
not recommended, you can disable soft
page breaks by setting
InteractiveHeight to 0.
InteractiveHeight and InteractiveWidth
are used by the HTML rendering
extension to provide the equivalent of
PageHeight and PageWidth. Because the
HTML output format dynamically resizes
a report to accommodate drilldown,
drillthrough, and show/hide features,
the report server uses different
properties to support pagination on
dynamic pages.
EDIT Comment Answer:
In the Layout mode, bring up Properties panel. At the top of the Properties panel is a drop down to select which control's properties you are looking at, select Report You will then find “Interactive Size” that includes Interactive Height property.
What version of SSRS? 2008 lets you specify a different page size for interactive and regular paper (ie the html version will render different than say PDF).
