I have a Telerik report that is working as expected. The report list items in several pages.
The report consist of several columns displaying items' fields.
Once I add a barcode control to the items' columns, the report begin to produce a blank page after every single page.
I am sure that the barcode control is behind this issue as once I remove the barcode control, things are back to normal.
Even If I add a textbox instead of barcode the report print as expected.
I have tried all the available features to get rid of the added blank page but could not succeed.
Please advise and many thanks
ps. I am using Telerik Reporting Q1 2016
I believe your issue is related to the barcode.
I have found that the field can grow and cause objects to move around when you don't want them.
I would put the barcode on to another report against the same data to see how wide the actual barcode is. This will help you get an idea as to what Telerik is doing and then come up with a game plan.

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 run into a problem with an SSRS report..... The report will generate around 20 pages, with unique data on each page. I have used a page break to do this.
At the top of each page is some data referring to each page.... a vehicle reg number, a driver name etc. This data is coming from an expression. reportitems!.columnName.Value & reportitems!.columnName.ValueWhen the report is run, in design mode, or viewed in Chrome after being deployed, each page has the correct data at the top of the page.... the driver name changes etc.
However, when the report is printed from the browser, or exported to a PDF, the data at the top of each page is now the same. Basically page 1 info is repeated on each page. The report data is still unique on each page, but the reference at the top has now repeated.
Has anyone ever encountered a similar problem, or any idea what may be causing this? I am very confused, as before printing, the report is showing all data as expected.
The 2 images show page 1 and 2 of the report, both numbers in the expression are different.
This image shows page 1 and 2 in the PDF, both numbers are now the same.
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.
BIRT 3.71v20110905
One of my data fields is a CLOB with html tags. I'm using the Dynamic Text Control in my report. This specifically happens when:
The Dynamic Text Control content type is to HTML or Automatic
in my case since I have html tags in the data. (Problem does not occur if I set the content type to Plain, but then the HTML tags show up in the report output as text.)
and
The total amount of data to be displayed by the control is more than one full page on its own
(without taking into account spacing used by other controls). If the
total amount of data to be displayed by the control is less than one
full page but can't all fit on the current page, it works as expected (meaning it displays what it
can on the current page and wraps the rest correctly onto the next
page.)
Is this a bug in the calculation for the DTC pagination?
Additional notes - I encountered this while trying to use a sample report that inserts a page break as needed between groups for duplex printing. It works great under most circumstances, but not when this DTC pagination issue rears up. ( GroupAlwaysStartsOnOddPage.rptdesign )
Sorry to disappoint, but this is a known issue and has not yet been resolved. At least not in the version of BIRT that Maximo is using.
What I tend to do is break the dynamic text where possible, experiment until I get the largest possible part on one page and put the rest into another dynamic text field.
This is obviously only a work around, but as far as I know there is not much else that you can do.
We ran into this problem with a dynamic text field containing HTML content coming from IBM Maximo long description fields. The report was designed in BIRT 3.7.1 Designer.
We were able to work around the duplication bug by changing the layout from Fixed to Auto. With Auto layout, it is also not necessary to change the Display setting of the field to "inline" (which we previously had to do to allow it to flow between pages without creating an initial page break).
In our case, changing the layout to Auto did not have negative effects on the appearance or geometry of our report.
