Page setup in Pentaho Report Designer - reporting

I'm using Pentaho Report Designer Version: 8.0.0.0-28.
When published, I want the reports to be adjusted to the whole page.
I don't want to be obliged to scroll up and down or right and left to see the whole report.
If you ever took a look at Inventory By Line report in the Steel Wheel directory that's exactly how I want my reports to be, so that it won't be any scrolling.
I can't find this option in the page setup tab.
Any suggestions?

Is the Drill Through (or Drill Down) functionality for RDLC report only available for web applications?

We have several Crystal Reports that are used in a Windows Form application that we are re-creating using RDLC. One of the reports needs the ability to drill through (or down) to more detailed data. I've followed several examples (mostly for SSRS) to enable the drill through functionality in the RDLC report but I can never get it to work. Its like the drill through logic is being ignored. I never get the "hand" to appear. I've even tried using "Go to URL" for the action and that doesn't work.
Is this functionality only available for SSRS or web applications?

Adding a subreport to rdl table cell

I have this RDL report, which needs to show a list of objects.
each objects itself contains multiple charts and tables so my idea was to add a single table in my report and add a sub-report to the table cell and feed the id of each object via a parameter to the sub-report.
This is how my report currently looks like:
Many sites suggest that the proper file may be selected by navigating to the supreport properties screen and using the browse button on the "Use this report as subreport" section, but my designer has no browse button:
My first thought is I'll just type in the path. But this doesn't work because it won't support : or \
Here I'd like to mention that we deploy our report in a subfolder of our application's deployment folder(generally something on the lines of "C:\Program Files\Company\Application\data\ReportDefinitions") Also the report files are not included in the application's solution. They're loaded at run time as needed.
I've also checked what msdn has to say on the matter. Some pages suggest using an expression like ="path" but this doesn't work for the same reasons.
Another article from Microsoft says something in the line of:
but this doesn't work either it just can't find the report sub-report in any way:
I've double checked and triple checked. The sub report is in the same folder as the main report and it's name is correct, but it just won't see it
I've already spent hours on this and I feel like I've exhausted every option.
What am I missing?
It seems my problem was not loading the subreport properly.
I load and render my reports pragmatically. Adding the following line overcame the problem
localReport.LoadSubreportDefinition(
"SingleCalibrationCurveReport",
new StreamReader(Path.Combine(this.systemSettings.DataPath, #"ReportDefinitionFiles\SingleCalibrationCurveReport.rdlc")));

odoo / OpenERP V8 - Tutorial on QWeb Reports

I am trying to start with odoo. One of the most import thing for us would be to generate different layout for sale orders.
I've started with this document: https://github.com/odoo/odoodays-2014/blob/master/v8_reporting_engine/index.rst
It is from the "odoodays 2014" and shows how to customize an existing report. This works fine. I don't understand the points under "Generic / particular report".
Now I'm lost trying to add a new report (starting with a copy of the exisiting report) with a custom template.
I've tried to add a new item in the report view in settings, but I can't add any linked qweb views (I've added a new one, but it didn't get a new ID).
I've tried to create a copy in the views directory of the addon but it didn't help.
Is there any tutorial for this ?
Is there somebody who can give me some pointers how to add a new report ?
After searching around I've come to this solution. I've translated all the menu headers from German, because I'm using Odoo in German.
reports are listed in Settings / Reporting / Reports
you can click one of the reports
if you edit one of the reports you can click on "Search for linked QWeb Views" - you can click and change these views. They are in HTML and are used for the data in the reports
New reports are typically added with a plugin.
If you would like to change the report with the website editor you can install the website builder. If you change one of the reports from PDF to HTML (in Settings / Reporting / Reports) you get a popup when you're generating the report.
In this popup you can change the report template. With this you can change the template with the website builder tools.
These reports are saved in the database in the table ir_ui_view. If you change to another database they still have the original reports (this was my big fear - that changing the reports changes them for all databases).
Header and footer are still changed in the company settings with RDL.
So basically everything from the odoodays-2014 document is working like they've showed on this website - it was just pretty hard to find out how these things worked.

Tab page and Group box control in SSRS 2005

Is there any way to show multiple report pages in single report viewer? If yes the how? Please tell me step by step or any direct link?
Is TAB Page control and Group box control are available in SSRS 2005 or it may available to download these control from any website?
Actually I have more than 5 different reports and have to show each report in a single tab page(Is it possible or any other idea, please)
and secondly I have to group some controls/data in group then after I can hide/unhide group box in place of all controls/data.
Please help on both problems...
Thanks in advance:
Shashi
One easy way to do this INSIDE a report is to add 5 sub reports to the main report with a page break after. Then, Add a DocumentMapLabel for each report. You will be able to navigate to each sub report using the document map. ---Another option is to make an ASP.NET (or just html) page with links to each.

Text over an image in an rdlc in VS2010

In VS2010, I've created an rdlc report that I want to view using the reportviewer. On the report, I want to use a scanned image underneath all the text (since it must look like the agency's letterhead), and this image must take up the whole page. The problem is that the text boxes on the report are all bumped down beneath the image. Can someone help me figure out how to make this work?
Right click the image, select Layout, Send to Back.
I'm doing this in VS 2012 now, but I think it's the same in VS 2010.
Right click the body of your report (in design mode),
Select "Body Properties..." and from there you can specify a Background Image.
You can place text above the image at design time. When ReportViewer display the report, it will look bad, but if you export the report in PDF format will look the same as you wish.
I know my answer does not resolve the problem. After working a lot on the subject, it is all I could get.
I have now tried in VS2013. No change.
