I have a SSRS RDL that is formated to fit on a three column lable sheet. When exported to PDF the 2nd column is not populated and on the next page the 2nd column is the only column populated. This continues to happen for as much data as I have. Has anyone had any problems with this or might have an idea on where the problem might be?
These kinds of quirks are usually related to the margins. Make sure that the actual label area does not exceed the page size, accounting for the margins. Also, printer drivers can cause a similar issue because of content-to-page-size issues, where the report shows correct on-screen but when printing, shifts content to a new page.
This is because of page setup properties. For example if a page is set to letter size(8.5in X 11in) and left and right margins to 1 inch. then you have adjust you report body size to 6.5 inch or below, if it exceeds above 6.5 inch, then leads to split data to other pages when exported to PDF.

When I set the database image Sizing property to 'Fit Proportional' and export the document to WORD some of the database images fail to render. If on the other hand the image sizing property is 'Fit to Size' then all the images always render when exported to WORD. I eliminated all report elements except the image in the body but the results are the same.
Additional Info: The image is not nested in a rectangle or table. The DB images originated as jpegs and are stored as VARCHAR(max).
I think the issue is more of a Word problem than SSRS. When you say "some" images fail to render when set to "Fit Proportional" that makes me think that the image is too large to fit on the page therefore not displaying.
I would guess the images that don't go beyond the margins of the page are the ones that display properly.
HTH
I also had this problem. I was trying to export to Word and some images were not showing while others were. I found this thread:

Someone suggesting reducing the image size before importing it into SSRS. That worked for me, so it might help you.
I am using telerik reports. Some of my reports are large sized. When printing these reports not fit into default page size. I need to fit it into page by default. How can I implement this? Pls reply
Each report has a defined size in its definition which you can change and the same goes for page margins. You should also have in mind that each printer has hardware margins which is not possible to override. With that taken into account, you should be able to set an appropriate size that prints correctly. If still in dilema, elaborate on the report size, its pagesettings and the printer and paper format you're trying to print to.
I've made a report using reporting services (Visual Studio 2010) and I want the subreport to have a predefined height. For example, the subreport will be 2 in. even if the report data only fills up 1 in. of the subreport. Is there a way to force a subreport to have a static height?
I have run into this same issue.
To set a minimum size, add a rectangle with a horizontal and vertical line inside it, and place the subreport inside the rectangle.
One solution I can think of for setting the max size, is to use top(x) in the sub report query, so that any results which exceed the number of lines to be shown are simply not included.
Alternatively, if all results must be included, then add a calculated field to the subreport dataset which counts the rows of data. In the subreport table, for each column set the font size such that all lines of data can be displayed within the given area. (iif(NoOfResults = 2, font = 10, etc))The 'Allow row height to decrease' will also need to be set on the table, so the rows can shrink in accord with the font size.
Hope someone finds this helpful. If you can think of any other solutions, I'd love to hear them.
I have a SSRS 2005 report form that is printing to a Zebra ZDesigner TLP 2844-Z label printer. The Interactive and Page sizes are set to 4" wide by 3" high. Since there is no paper orientation in SSRS, it is assuming this to be a landscape report when it should be a portrait thereby printing the labels sideways.
The users are able to export to a PDF and print after adjusting the print settings, but the extra clicks to produce/print the pdf's are unacceptable.
Is there a way to force the print job to print portrait or another workaround/trick to do this?
Can you just set your Page width to be 3" and your height to 4" ? (Not your Interactive Size, your Page Size)
How are you designing the report? There should be a property to modify for paper orientation in the report's properties...
From MSDN
So what defines a portrait vs. landscape report? If the PageHeight is less than the PageWidth, then it is landscape, otherwise it is portrait. It is important to understand that Reporting Services has no notion of the rotation of the paper in the printer. It is up to the applications that consume the output (Acrobat reader, print control) to determine the correct printer settings to best render the specified page size.
Note that the DeviceInfo settings can be used at report rendering time to override the page sizes in the definition. This is how the client print control works when you change margins or page size. In SP2 and SQL 2005 Reporting Services, the default page sizes are extracted from the definition at publish time and written to the ReportServer database as custom properties on the report. While you can programmatically change these via the SetProperties method on the web service, they will be overwritten if the report is republished (unlike parameter and datasource information).
I have a similar printer with a similar problem. Change the report orientation to portrait (the numbers will be backward). Then when you run the report click page setup. Change the size from "USER" to either "custom" or "template" (depending upon your printer). You should then be able to use your printer properties to change the size of the labels.
To prevent the SSRS WinForms ReportViewer from rotating your printed labels, use a square page. If the length and width are the same, ReportViewer will not rotate. I found that when I expanded the page size for my 2.5" x 1" label to 2.5" x 2.5", the print was oriented correctly on the stock and there was no waste. Perhaps Zebra's driver clips the blank area.
I also tried designing a rotated label using Text Box's WritingMode = Rotate270. That didn't help.
I'm using the report viewer control included in Visual Studio 2005 and something odd is happening; when I set the margins on the report and I run the application the report viewer adds a page break after each content page, so if I have 2 content pages I end up having 4 pages of which 2 of them are blank pages.
If I set the margins of the report as zero then the report displays ok but of course it doesn't look good without the margins (and won't print properly)
I'm pretty sure the content is not wrapping or something that could cause this since I intentionally designed the tables to fit in 6 inches so, 6 inches plus 2 (one for each side margin) are 8 and I still have half an inch of space there so things don't mess up since this is in letter size which is 8.5" x 11"
Anybody has had this same behavior?
Thanks in advance.
Found the solution, turns out that the body should not be wider than the report size so for example if you have a standard letter page: 8.5" x 11" than the body should be less than 8.5, pay special attention if you have margins since you have to subtract those inches too, I want a one inch margin per side so left and right would sum up two inches:
8.5 - 2 = 6.5
So if you plan to have a letter report with one inch margins make sure the body is 6.5 at the most then it would fit.
Pretty obvious huh? but I did not figured it out at the beginning since the report viewer designer does not have any rulers to mark the beginning of the body, only for the report.
