I was trying to create one report with several pages doing this:
I've created like 3 reports with different embedded datasets (each report has nothing to do with the others).
I've created a main report where i put the 3 subreports, overlaying them.
In SSRS web view i can change the the pages in order to see each subreport in a different page.
The problem is when i tried to export the report in PDF, there is not a "page break" so the first page contain all the reports overlayed.... this is a big issue....
Is there a way to fix this?
You can enclose sub reports in a rectangle and provide page break properties to the rectangle.
1st sub-report should be within 1st rectangle and as is.
You can also make sure, sub-reports are one-by-one in the design for proper page breaks.

I am on Msoft SQL Server Report Builder, v15.0
I have a multi page report that no matter that forces a blank page every 2nd page.
I have searched through the tablix properties, report properties, header & footer properties and have not found a culprit yet.
I fear that there are somehow some hidden pieces that are causing this issue, but I do not know how to be able to see the hidden pieces.
I have opened the .rdl file up in notepad++ and started walking through the code, but I am not certain where I should look at in there that would cause my problem.
It is a 10 column report that is generated from a dataset culled down, but the report has 3 calculated fields in it, including a column which generates a ranking number.
If you know of a explicit piece of code I should search for that would be awesome, but I know that is a needle in a snowpile.....
Found finally what I had done...
my durn body was the same width as the page sheet so it was pushing the margins off and creating a new page.
Here is a good walk through of what I found.....

I have two subreports which get displayed when I give my selection criteria, one after the other.
Can I change the layout of those pages so the pages get displayed side by side? That would make it easier to view both in a single glance. (I am using Crystal Reports 2011.)
It's hard to tell from your question, but it sounds like you want the printed pages to alternate between the two subreports. Such that when you print out the pages and read it like a book, you'll get Subreport 1 on the left page and Subreport on the right. That's not something Crystal would be able to do easily.
However, if you just want the subreports to print side-by-side on the same page that's ridiculously easy! It's as simple as resizing and moving the subreports as if they were just ordinary elements on the report:
I have a report and want to fix it to 1 page (A4) regardless of the number of rows in the table. Usually it's 10 rows but can be more in some cases.
Anyway I need to use BIRT in a fixed context (3rd party application), eg. no option to adjust the BIRT viewer or url params. Therefore how can I add this option to my report design so that it is applied automatically?
I don't think it is possible to force a render option from the report-design. If it was it would probably achieved by using this code fragment from "beforeRender" script of the report:
importPackage(Packages.org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api);
reportContext.getRenderOption().setOption(IPDFRenderOption.PAGE_OVERFLOW,IPDFRenderOption.FIT_TO_PAGE_SIZE);
I tried it, it appears at this stage the BIRT task has already applied render options and therefore this new value is ignored.
If you have access to the source code of this third party app it is quite easy to add a "Fit to" PDF render option.
Otherwise you will have to change the report-design and make it a little bit more dynamic: there are many design tips allowing to fit a report in a single page, one of them is to change the height of some items by script depending on the number of rows of the table.
In VS2010 I have a report, with a table of data that can cause the report to span multiple pages.
Also on this report I have a rectangle that has some contact information for the company the report is for, that I need it to repeat on every page, to the side of the previous table. However this rectangle is not, and cannot be in the header or footer. Is there a way to make an element of a report repeat on every page?
I'm afraid there isn't. You'll have to mimic this by splitting your report into pieces and forcing page breaks after which you display the header again. You can use the List component to do this and group your data to a fixed row height to break to a next page.
I have seen all the samples of the Birt reports available in eclipse - they do not say how to have multi paged Birt reports - as in what if I have ten tables - and all of them producing different data - These cannot be put in one page.
So how do I add multiple pages to one report?. Or if that is not possible - how do I club multiple reports (Each report containing one page design only :( ) together - without any page breaks
Can we do this without any programming? If not, can someone point to example source code - where merger is demonstrated ?.
I don't know of any tool to combine separate reports automatically.
The simplest way to combine multiple reports into a single report is to copy and paste the report items from the layout tab (Tables, Charts, Cross Tabs etc) of each of the original reports into the layout tab of the combined report.
You can force page breaks between different report items on the Page Break section of the Properties tab within the Property Editor for the relevant report items.
You will need to ensure that the combined report has all required data sources, data sets and report parameters - these can be transferred from the original reports by copying and pasting from the Data Explorer within the original reports, into the Data Explorer in the combined report.
