Rendering
I have a ssrs report which gets properly rendered as I wanted when I view in Internet Explorer but when I export it in PDF format, it doesnt. The report is of 6 pages when rendered in IE but 16 in PDF. The parent group , child group and detail remain together in IE but they do not in PDF. Please give me some suggestions on why this is happening and how can I get the same when I see it in IE and in PDF or any other format. Thanks,

1:Check the Report Body properties, which means it should be greater than 8.5' X 11.0' if it is Portrait and 11.0' X8.5' if it is landscape. 2:Try changing properties of Body like below Left: 0.25 inch Right: 0.25 inch Top:0.5 inch Bottom:0.5 inch However the no of pages which you see in I.E can't be same as PDF. I.E is soft page breaks which will not consider the report layout, where as PDF is hard page breaks which considers the report layout like Left, Right, Top and Bottom.

Hi, As Nanda posted, Reporting Services use different rules in pagination: Physical pagination is used by the print control (include export to PDF) and logical pagination is used by the HTML. The physical page size is controlled by the PageSize properties of Report and the logical page size is controlled by the InteractiveSize properties of Report. However, if just specify the same size to PageSize and InteractiveSize, we will get more pages when export to PDF because the Margin properties of Report are only applied in physical pagination. To get the same page numbers, one workaround is decrease the InteractaveSize. For example, if the Top and Bottom margin properties are both 1, the Height property in PageSize is 11, we need specify 9 (11-1-1) to the Height property in InteractiveSize. After that, the report will render in IE or PDF in the same page number. In addition, if there are some blank pages generated in rendering, please ensure the Size properties of Body are not greater than InteractiveSize and PageSize properties of Report.
