Hi, 

According to your description, when exporting to PDF and word, they have different behavior, right? 

In Reporting Services, exporting to PDF is like a snapshot. It will save the current report with format and data as a PDF file. We cannot change the object position in the PDF file. But when exporting to word, the file can be edited so that we can re-design the report object in the word file. This mechanism is by design. 

In our local environment, we have tested this scenario. When exporting to PDF, the format is the same in BIDS. When exporting to word, it will  automatically adapt to object area to make sure that each object has enough area. 

If you have any other question, please feel free to ask. 

Regards, 
Shrek Li
