As the subject says, I have an SSRS report that needs to have its printer setup a certain way, such as changing page orientation from Portrait to Landscape, in order to print correctly.
However, every time I go to do a test print of this report in Report Viewer, when I check the printer properties, they've all reverted back to the defaults. None of the changes I made were saved past the printing in that moment when I clicked OK.
Changing the settings in the printer itself has met the same result. Has anyone else encountered this? I am using SQL Server 2014.
EDIT: I forgot you can make SSRS reports in Visual Studio, so to be clear I'm using SSRS Report Builder.
Following Russel's response, I have confirmed that my page width and height are set correctly for landscape printing. I hadn't changed the margins from their 1" defaults before now, so hopefully that will yield some result. In any case, here's what my settings look like right now.
In VS, select the Properties tab and in the dropdown at the very top, right under "Properties", select "Report". If you scroll down you'll see settings for "Page", including Margins and Page Size. If it should print landscape, swap the PageSize settings: 11in wide and 8.5in high. Set appropriate margins and be aware that if you have 1" left and right margins, your report data can only be 9" wide. Those properties should carry through to the printer.

I have an rdlc file opened through a report viewer control (in a WPF application) that renders incorrectly on some machines when in print preview. On some machines the chart body is larger than the chart area and gets cut off. It is printed this way as well. On other machines, the chart is rendered and prints correctly.
All PCs are running the same .net version, have the same DPI settings, and have the same printer selected. All other content (a matrix, table etc.) render and print correctly on both all machines. What else should I be looking for?

I've seen similar issues if the user had different options set in the print dialog, things like shrink to fit or not, etc.
In the Query Tool, when trying to raise or lower the border between Query Sql Editor and Data Output Panel it is very common that when you move the mouse over the Data Output panel's header it changes the vertical - horizontal arrow icon to a cross arrow changing Data Output panel from its default tiling to floating
What should I do to return the Data Output panel to its initial tiling mode?
In addition, Data Output panel once in floating window stops showing queries's results, it only shows the messages, I suppose it's 3.1's bug.
My solution so far is to save the query, close it and reopen it to recover its tiling mode

What is the best free competitor of pgadmin 4?
In the pgadmin browser, click on the File menu and select reset layout.
Yes, will get all kinds of warnings, but the query tool returns to being useful.
I don't know in PgAdmin 4.3, but in 4.6 I found that way to re-arrange it.
First, right-click on somewhere to Add Panel -> Scratch Pad first to get a panel holder first (when clicking, notice the highlighted light blue space),
then right-click the lower half space to add another panel -> Scratch Pad at the lower half space (when clicking, notice the highlighted light blue space),.
After that, click on the tab and hold to drag and drop to where you want (when clicking, notice the highlighted light blue space).
I have pgadmin 4.15 and I found how to resolve this. On the upper left corner, click on File dropdown and then click on Reset Layout. It will ask to restart the application, click Ok.
No this is not a bug, those panels are meant to be floatable so that user can arrange the view as per their convince.
But yes user should have the option to lock the layout, and I see feature request for locking the layout is already in the pgadmin4 list.
Hopefully, we will get it in the next future release.
Ref: https://redmine.postgresql.org/issues/3155
------ UPDATE -----
Now you can lock the layout in pgAdmin4 (File menu -> Lock layout) option
To reset the panels to default position (File manu -> Reset Layout) option
------ UPDATE-2021 -----
This issue has been fixed, can you please check with pgAdmin4 v5.5 which is released on 15-july-2021.
Long press with left mouse button on title permits you to reposition the panel in layout
reset is also available as an icon on the top right area of the UI
File dropdown >> Reset Layout (reload issue)
this will reload but the changes/query will be lost. Better to store the query somewhere else before resetting layout
I'm still on 4.2.6, and as long as only one of the tabs has floated, I can click on the text "Data Output", and drag it onto the tab bar of the bottom panel. Note that you need to click the text, and not just anywhere in the panel's top bar, it acts as a kind of invisible tab.
If the other tabs (Explain, etc) have also floated I think you need a 'Scratch Pad' or Reset.
Then File, Lock Layout, Prevent Docking if this is never useful for you.
I was able to redock it in pgadmin 4, version 6.0 by dragging the floating window down to the bottom right of the screen. I drug it around down there until it started highlighting docking arrangements for it and it eventually shows a highlight for the original docking position and then you can let go and it'll dock. Not super exact instructions, but once you do it a couple times it's easy to recreate.
In SQL Server Management Studio Object Explorer - How to increase Font Size?
From the tool --> Options --> Fonts & Colors we can change fonts for many windows. There is a drop down 'Show Settings For' where we can changes font for text in many area's but I'm not sure how to change the font for the Object Explorer. I thought it would be the tools window drop down selection but that didn't effect the Object Explorer. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
You can't change the font of the Object Explorer on it's own but you can change it.
Go to "Tools/Options/Fonts and Colors"
Under the "Show settings for:" dropdown choose "Environment font"
Set the font/fontsize to whatever you want (I use 12 pt Segoe UI)
Click "OK"
Restart SSMS
Using SSMS 2016, it will set use the font and size settings under "Environment Font" in object explorer (and in all menus etc) on restart of SSMS. Screen shot showing setting panel and result
Sometimes I like larger fonts, they help me see clearly and avoid mistakes when reading all the tons of text and data.
My alternatives for not being able to change the font in Object Explorer:
Windows 7 has a Magnifier.
Add a Filter when finding a specific table among the many tables in a database. Right click on Tables --> Filter.
In SSMS-17, Once you have navigated to Tools->Options->Environment->Fonts and Colors, Select Environment Font from the Show settings for. Then the Font will need to be set to a different Font before the Size of the text can be changed. The Automatic default Font setting prevents the Size from being changed.

This is a known issue, and will not be fixed at this time.

change grid result font
Go to "Tools/Options/Fonts and Colors"
Under the "Show settings for:" dropdown choose "grid results"
Set the font/fontsize to whatever you want (I use 12 pt Segoe UI)
Click "OK"
I had a similar issue where the sql connection box was really tiny. I tried using all the different font sizes for environment but nothing would fix the connection box size. What did fix it was a computer restart. All fonts went back to normal.
To increase the output of the print or select function, go to Options > Fonts and colors > Show settings for:, select Grid Results and change the field Size to a default of 7.
I got this problem that drive me crazy. I have a project in VS2013 with v.13.0.15.1840. I'm using a auto grow field (has his own section) in crystal reports that is displaying a text interpreted as RTF. The problem is that on preview and even paper, the right side of the text is cut off (see screenshot). If the text is justified the it shows OK but I have situations when I need the text align to left.
So far I tried but with no effect:
Setting margins manually on Format Object, Paragraph.
Selecting no printer,Disassociating formatting page size and printer paper size.
Making the field smaller horizontally.
Does anyone know a solution for this?
The field on designer:
Edited for further explanations:
The RTF code can be viewed at https://gist.github.com/andySF/7ca61ffbe6ab6da53ca1
Also another try was to put my field in a textbox and then setting the right margin of the textbox to 3cm. It appears that the margin is somehow overridden after the first paragraph.
Use
Modyfi your datasource text rtf before send in to report CR
model.Document= model.Document.Replace("\pard", "\pard\ri380")
I am using reportviewer 2010 Winforms
In normal mode, I want the entire report to display in one page only. I read different topics and learnt setting the Interactive height property to zero might do the trick.
I believe I could set the INterative height by clicking on a tablix -> In Properties window, there's a Size which has Width and height. However when I set the height to 0, it reverts back to the previous inches which was there before.
I need help with how to set the Interactive page height? Is this set at report level or for each tablix inside the report?
I believe the width and height setting in Report => Report properties is for physical rendering (PDf) and not for logical rendering (Html in normal mode).
Thanks in advance.
Nevermind, I was able to figure it out. I had to bring up the Report properties by clicking somewhere outside the report in the rdlc file. In the properties, I was able to find Interactiveheight and I set it to 0.
