May 26, 2010 This is a wierd problem, one could face in SSRS. The export to PDF or Word, appears to break the columns in larger reports with 10 or more columns. The main reason being the report size specifications. You can check your report properties to find the report size specifications.

When design a report you often run into a conflict between how you want your report to display in a report viewer, versus how you want it displayed as a PDF for printing purposes.


By right clicking the report in SSRS we can get to Report Properties, which lets us edit the page size and margins for exporting to PDF and printing.

Editing the Page Size can allow you to ensure your report is taking the most of the available space, by either having the size smaller than a typical page which will make the report display larger when printed, or having a larger size which will allow for more content to be displayed, but at a smaller size. When printing from the PDF, you can simply choose to “Fit” the custom page size onto A4 and it will fit it nicely for printing. Below are some examples:

29.7cm x 21cm (normal)

What we don’t see through Report Properties though is the Interactive Size, which determines how the report is rendered in the report viewer.To access this we need to go into the Properties tab and select “Report” from the drop down list (or have the report itself in focus when you open Properties).

Here you can see we have access to modify the Interactive Size, as well as the Page Size and Margins. As this property suggests, it modifies the size of the page that the user interacts with when rendered through a report viewer.

The most useful trick here is setting the Interactive Height to 0. This tells the report to never break and display all data on a single page. Because we have our Page Size set up correctly, it will still put the appropriate page breaks in when exported to PDF, and will print properly, but it saves the user having to continuously click to go through to the next page when viewing the report.

An important point to note here is that if your report is loading a substantial amount of data, there could be significant performance losses by not using paging, and with mammoth amounts of data, your report may fail to run altogether.

Naturally this property can also be set to a specified height, allowing for more data to be displayed per page, without putting any noticeable impact on load times.

One cool trick which works nicely if you are rendering the entire report onto a single page is fixing the first row in place so that it stays as the first visible row regardless how far down the page you are. This can be coupled with repeating this row on each new page so that it is still nicely presented for printing. I will be covering how to implement these features in my next blog, so stay tuned!

Re: How to reduce the size of a (rdlc) report when I exported to PDF?

Hi,

Not sure what kind of reports, and what kind of contents in your exported PDF. But here are some suggestions and comments from other users on this issue. See:

I have a few ideas and questions:

Crystal Reports Export To Pdf

1. Is this a graphics-heavy report? If not, do you have tables that start out as text but are converted into a graphic by the SSRS PDF renderer (check if you can select the text in the PDF)? 41K per page might be more than it should be, or it might not, depending on how information-dense your report is. But we've had cases where we had minor issues with a report's layout, like having a table bleed into the page's margins, that resulted in the SSRS PDF renderer 'throwing up its hands' and rendering the table as an image instead of as text. Obviously, the fewer graphics in your report, the smaller your file size will be.

2. Is there a way that you could easily break the report into pieces? E.g., if it's a 10-location report, where Location 1 is followed by Location 2, etc., on your final report, could you run the Location 1 portion independent of the Location 2 portion, etc.? If so, you could join the 10 sub-reports into one final PDF using PDFSharp after you've received them all. This leads to some difficulties with page numbering, but nothing insurmountable.

3. Does anyone else have any other theories as to why this runs on the server but not through the API?

My guess would be the sheer size of the report. I don't remember everything about what's an IIS setting and what's SSRS-specific, but there might be some overall IIS settings (maybe in Metabase.xml) that you would have to be updated to even allow that much data to pass through.

You could isolate the question of whether the time is the problem by taking one of your working reports and building in a long wait time in your stored procedures with WAITFOR (assuming SQL Server for your DBMS).

Not solutions, per se, but ideas. Hope it helps.
