I have a report that looks nicely aligned in the Visual Studio design screen, but when I check it in the preview screen or deployed on the report server, there are large gaps between each subreport and text box.
Is there any way to ensure that these are aligned in the actual report? Particularly in PDF form, which this will ultimately end up as.

I have a report with 5 charts on it in SQL Server Report Builder 2016. In the "Design" window, the 5 charts appear to be on the same page. In the "Print Layout" window, the charts are now on three different pages. I would like all the charts to be on the same page when printed.
How do I fix this?
Make sure your design surface isn't expanded too far to the right. Make the ruler visible in combination with looking at the margins to make sure the graphs don't spill over to the next page because they are too far to the right. This is a common problem and I wish the designer had some way to indicate this is the case.
We have an application that uses SSRS reports on SQL Server. The reports are in 2008 format (http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2008/01/reportdefinition).
We have a report where is a rectangle with a few textboxes, that are populated by the report parameters. One of the parameters can grow up to the length of 1000+ chars, so the textbox height ranges from 1 to several lines.
This was still fine, because the rectangle enveloping the textbox grew together with the textbox, but when deployed on the SQL Server 2014 RS, the preview (using the Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportViewer) in IE works somehow differently and the content of the textbox overlaps the rectangle.
This works fine with other browsers (opera, firefox).
Apart from
waiting for a ssrs fix
not using IE ;)
changing the SQL Server version
setting the rectangle width to some unreasonable value
is there any solution?
It seems that the only way is to replace the rectangle by several lines - surprisingly, those do resize and move exactly in the way to cover the content of the former rectangle. It is however hard/nearly impossible to position them perfectly.
I currently have a suite of about 25 SSRS reports. Some are very high level and from there you can drill into more detailed reports. Some of the high level reports are basically simulated pivot views of the data in a matrix with drillthroughs on each cell. A pain to set up, but it turned out pretty cool except that you can't manipulate it like a pivot table, you need to make a new SSRS report for each scenario that you might want to see.
I was wondering if it is possible to harness the power of PowerBI, maybe a powerpivot and drill from there into SSRS reports, passing the parameters that figure into the cell that you are clicking on?
I'm new to PowerBI and I started to set one up today but can't find any information about drilling into SSRS reports. Is this possible?
We're adding hyperlink support in current/soon to be available builds. You'll use it in two ways. First, you can specify a custom drill url on a dashboard tile. Just edit the tile properties and the option will be in the pane that opens. So you could point those urls to your SSRS reports. Second, in tables in your reports, you'll be able to have hyperlinks. So you could create a calculated column that returns parameterized urls that drill to your SSRS reports.
We have an application built in WPF. For reports we are using the Winforms host to display and preview the report. There is a requirement to batch print the SSRS reports physically to a printer. i.e. On click of a button, it should print all the reports on a printer (default printer associated with the machine). The problem we face is that a print dialog appears when we try to print the report. We do not want the print dialog, just direct printing of SSRS report to the pinter.
How can this be accomplished?
First of all, sorry about my english.
Steps:
1. you can generate the SSRS report using C# (for example)
2. Instead of displaying a report on the screen, you can export it to PDF (in a temporary folder.)
3. Print this PDF File using a PrintDialog control (Allow you to disable the print dialog).
Probably you can disable the print dialog on the report viewer too but i don't know how.
hope it
I'm using ReportViewer WinForms, and since it is no easy way to create an coversheet, then I wonder, is it possible to render two reports and have them concatenated?, so they appear as one report?
If I was to print only, then I could execute two reports after each other, but since the user want to see the report before printing (you know, no environment waste here) then they have to appear in the same viewer.
OR, is there other ways of creating coversheets?
Today I use an subreport, but there are some issues with margins etc. which is not easy to fix.
To clarify, we are talking about
ReportViewer using RDLC files, no
Crystal Reports involved.
Do you need to display the 2 reports as 1 in the reportViewer control or would having them both exported to PDF and showing a single PDF containing both reports be satisfactory?
I was looking for that but using the Web ReportViewer and found examples exporting the reports to several PDFs, then concatenating the PDFs into 1 using PDFtk (free)

I've created a report that sounds like what you are attempting to do...first to clarify, I'm going to guess your using Crystal Reports within VS2005/2008.
If that's the case, all you need to do in the main report is create an additional section after your section that contains the "Cover Sheet" layout/data. In the section expert for the "Cover Sheet" section (in layout view, right click on section header bar, pick section expert in pop up menu..), check off the "New Page After" option.
Edit: After your update, I see you are using RDLC reports, and from my limited exposure to those, I can't recall an easy way to get to where you want to be. Though I'm pretty sure you may be able to pass multiple reports to the same report viewer in code.
