For the last two years I've had an application running in production which would generate and display its reports as PDF via RS 2005. It would take user parameters, render the report, and my application would take the PDF bytestream from RS and save it to a file on disk, then request Windows to open the file. This has worked very smoothly.
Recently there has been a push in my company to get Adobe Acrobat 8 deployed, and apparently the same PDFs which have been working all this time will cause Acrobat 8 to choke. By choke, I mean that Acrobat will load into memory but have some sort of problem with the PDFs, and never show up. The users, not realizing what is going on, will then ask for the same report again, causing two stalled instances of Acrobat to be opened now, etc.
Removing the new acrobat and replacing it with Acrobat 7 solves the problem. Long term, this is not a good solution however... Has anyone else had a similar experience? I've googled around and have come up empty.
i have developed reports which uses Line textbox, and list ...
When i render these reports in acrobat and excel, acrobat works fine but excel it takes line every thicker even if i decrease the width of the line to 0.25pt excel takes as same as if it was 1.0pt
is there any solution for this, my report has no warnings .
Hi everyone. I try to develop an application where one of the items is files management. I wish to store the adress (local disk) into the MS SQL 2005 table and from one form, with some controls (AxAcroPDF), to access this pdf files. Can someone help me?
Dumb question from a networking ignoramus - where does Adobe Pro need to be installed to allow my ASP 2.0 / VB2005 app to render a report as a PDF? (The program will programmatically cause the report to be rendered to a work folder on the server the app is on, then attach the PDF to an email and send it, and delete it when done).
Would it have to be where SRS is installed (which is on our database server)? Or on our Development server and Production server, where the program will run from?
I have written a custom rendering extension for my reporting services. In one of my function inside custom rendering assembly, I want to access the underlying dataset and manipulate with it. I gain some knowledge on dataextension but not able to use it successfully. Can someone please help me get to underlying dataset?
Okay, when will SRS 2005 support Office 2007 extensions.
I find it hard to believe that a service pack has not been releaseed to support Office 2007. If there is I apologize in advance for this message.

Hi Report created in VS has some data in the page header, but when report is saved to pdf file that data disappears in page header. The data in page header that disappear are the ReportItems taken from detail line of a table in the report body. This problem started as a result of converting existing report from sql server/VS 2003 to qsl server/VS 2005. Before conversion, report saved to Adobe pdf file showed all data. What could be the problem? Thank you Appreciate your help
I have designed a fairly simple report in report designer that uses an analysis services cube as its input, and a basic matrix object as the primary design component. Cube performance either via object browser in Analysis Services or via connection from Excel is great. It does exactly what you build a cube for, i.e. it builds aggregations you can get to quickly. However rendering from a report designer report within Report Manager is a different story.
Even though this report is being rendered from an execution snapshot, it is painfully slow at opening and closing different levels of drill down. The report does have six levels of drill down, which I am sure is a factor. If I use a smaller dataset, performance does become more acceptable. However, I don't consider the requirements of my report to be all that extraordinary.
My conclusion thus far is that larger data sets with many possible page renderings are not the best candidates for HTML rendered reports. In this case Microsoft's cube analysis add-in to Excel might be a better choice. Thoughts and feedback on either how to improve the rendering speed or other presentation alternatives that would perform better would all be welcome.
First of all, this is not in reference to using SRS (SQL Reporting Services) to render a report and then use one of the extensions to render the complete report as a pdf, tiff, excel etc. We have an opportunity to render a list of claims and then embed the supporting docs for each of the claims within the report. We don't have an issue referencing jpg and gif images via URLs and then rendering them within the report after the grid information. We do have an issue rendering tiff images within the report.
You can insert an image object into SRS at design time and have it render and you can convert a complete report to a tiff image but I cannot find a way to be able to render a tiff image when running the report. All you get is the red "x".
My question is has anyone encountered the same issue and, if so, what did you do to resolve the issue?
My report when rendered to the screen outputs the correct number off pages...HOWEVER when i export it to adobe i get a trailing blank page which accompanies each page break.
Can anyone please help ?
My report has a table which is bounded to a list with separate fields at the top of the list specifying the username in a text field and the table displays the user details, For each user there is a page break.
I have notice when i got rid off the list everything is ok, however the list seems to be within the boundaries of the report
I'm trying to add a custom report format to ssrs 2005 as per this [URL] I've added the code snippets in the example to three different ssrs 2005 server RSReportServer.config files but it does not work i.e do not show up in the export drop down when rendering report.
I've tried starting and stopping reporting services and it still does not works.
I've also modified the existing csv extension with different options to see if it works but to no avail.However it works with SSRS2008 R2 . In fact it works right after I saved the config file, no restart needed.For SSRS2005 the file is in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.3Reporting ServicesReportServer. I checked the registry setting just to make sure I'm looking at the correct installation 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE', 'SOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsClientSetup', 'SQLPath' The three ssrs2005 instances are in three different physical servers and the problem is with all of them so it is not an isolated incident. I've dbowner rights to all three servers. The server versions are 9.0.4060, 9.0.4035 and 9.0.4053
I have a report that has ten pages (essentially ten different reports). Each page has one, large main chart and then three smaller charts stacked on top of each other off to the right. The layout is in landscape. When I render the report in Reporting Services, the layout looks fine. If I export it to Adobe, it is also fine. However, when the report is emailed as a PDF attachment, the main chart on each page is completely missing. Has anybody experienced something simliar? I was having issues with the layout, and decreasing the height of each page fixed everything, but created this new problem. I am using Adobe 7.0. Thank you.
hi all! i'm new and hoping you might help me - have searched E V E R Y W H E R E for this answer!!
--my ASP program is running on IIS box (call it "Lucy")
--my ASP program connects to SQL Server 2000 db on another box (call it "Linus") consisting of .doc, .xls, .PDF and the like
--all's well EXCEPT when PDFs are returned! sometimes browser gives blank screen instead of PDF <?> i figure iFilter will "cure" this.
--question: WHICH SERVER should iFilter be installed on? Lucy (where IIS is running & ASP program is) or Linus (where SQL Server does its full text indexing)?

We are trying to publish a group of financial reports using SQL Server Reporting Services. We have hit a snag when we try to render the reports in PDF format. The leading spaces of each line are stripped in the output file. For example:
I have a report that is deployed at multiple sites without any problems, except one. At one site, when I render it to pdf, it doesn't look at all right, and the alignment on a table goes from center to right aligned for no obvious reason. It then stretches a textbox horizontally to force it onto another page. I've doublechecked and made sure that all the expand options on every single thing on the report is off, and I really don't understand why it would happen at only one site, even though the data is almost the exact same. Not only that, table cells don't stretch horizontally, they stretch vertically, so again, I'm stumped about why this one site would render incorrectly to a .pdf. Even in the report viewer, everything looks fine.
I am wondering if anyone has had a problem with rendering to pdf incorrectly when the rdl and data are correct, and what your solution was.
P.S. IT isn't a problem with margining, so please, don't give the generic "CHECK YOUR MARGINS" response.
I have been using the following code, (thanks to Shyam), to display address fields. This works great when using preview in BIDS, but the address shows on one continious line when the report is redered in Reporting Services.
When running a SSRS 2005 Report on local machines (running Windows XP) A certain Textbox Label is not wrapping and is sized with .25 inch blank spacing at the end of the text. When running thru a datadriven Subscription this label is wrapping to next line on the PDF file that is produced.
We went to the SSRS 2005 server( Windows server 2003) and opened the report and it shows this label wrapping and the text is not fitting in the label box. But on every client box that we open this report on it shows it not wrapping. Is there a setting on the Server that we need to set for this report to render correctly.
when i view the report in xml format i am not able to view complete Document Type Declaration,this what i get <?xml version="1.0" ?>
<Report xmlns="GetOrganizationsById" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" & one more issues i am facing is that Already opened report need to be focused when the report is already opened..
We use Reporting Services for most of our reporting needs internally. However, we do have several products that we ship out into the field that run off local databases. These applications require reporting but often are not big enough for SQL Server and rarely run on a server with IIS.
Since MS has made .RDL an open xml standard does anyone know if there are any client rendering engines being developed? We would like the ability to develop all of our reports in .RDL and have them rendered in Reporting Services or in our standalone apps that run off MSDE or Access. Currently this is not possible. But, I think that someone could write a client renderer (like Crystal Reports has) to allow the use of .RDL files off a local data source without SQL Server and Web Services.
I am facing a problem while rendering a pie chart in the report. I am rendering the report using web service to be exported in pdf format. I have figures
202.64 12677.53 2653.99 8006.04 306.89 23846.22
to be represented in pie chart. It works well when viewed the report using Report manager. But when rendered the report in pdf using web service, it gives error "The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive."
But if i order the figures in descending order before rendering the report, it works fine. Can anyone tell me why is this behaviour...
Hi, I have a table of folders that I would like to be able to displayin a depth first manner, similar to what you would see in WindowsExplorer. the table is defined similar toCREATE TABLE Folders (folderID int,parentFolderID int,name varchar(32)).... I've left some things out of the definition for the simplicity ofexample.My desire is to quickly generate a record set containing the all childfolders of a specific folder along with the how many levels deep eachfolder is, in a quick and memory efficient manner. I have done someresearch through this group and found a few examples similar to what Ihave hypothesized, however I was hoping for some feedback on what Ihave decided to use.Since this database table is already created and I cannot modify theexisting schema, it would not be very feasible to use a nested setsmodel (unfortunately -- or if anyone has a suggestion?).I plan on using a stored procedure that recusively calls itself.something similar to the following:/* This is assuming the table #TempFolderTable has* already been declared globally*/sp_FolderDisplayRecurive @folder int, @level int ASIF @@NESTLEVEL > 31 RETURN;DECLARE @childFolder INTDECLARE folders_cursor AS CURSOR LOCAL FORSELECT folderID FROM FoldersWHERE parentFolderID = @folderIDOPEN folders_cursorFETCH NEXT FROM folders_cursorINTO @childFolderwhile @@Fetch_status = 0BEGIN-- Insert current folder into-- folder table (under parent @folder)INSERT INTO #TempFolderTable(FolderID, DepthLevel, ParentFolderID) VALUES(@childFolder, @level, @folder)-- Iterate over all of its childrenEXEC sp_FolderDisplayRecursive@childFolder, @level + 1FETCH NEXT FROM folders_cursor INTO @childFolderEND...Will this incure a large overhead for a deep directory structure? Arethere any other problematic issues? Any suggestions and/or commentsare very welcome. Thanks!
When rendering extension for RTF or Doc or WordML will be available? Will it be released in service pack for SQL2K5 or it will be released in next version of SQL Server?
can anyone tell me, how does Reporting Services work in the following scenario:
There is a report with multiple pages (eg. 50 pages). The user runs the report.
Question: What is transferred from the Reporting Services server to the client desktop ? all pages or just the first one ?
Background> I don't want to let the user wait until all pages are received (because he may be interested only in the first one and the jump to the last one and that is all he wants to see)
sorry to raise this again here. I have seen a lot of posts on this board about plain text rendering but never really a satisfactory answer. So my question is: Has anyone succeeded in developing a custom rendering extension which is able to render a report as plain text?
I am a Technical Lead in a project to convert and migrate reporting from Unix/C to Reporting Services 2005. One requirement is, to render the reports in plain text for archiving purposes. I know that there are a million options out there to archive in PDF and whatever. Well, we need plain text. No way around it! It is a governmental requirement!
I am about to pull the plug on SSRS 2005 just because we are not able to fulfill this requirement. And we are talking about a big project converting >700 reports!
Challenges we are facing:
Reporting components are rendered as they appear in a compnent list, one after each other. If you now have two multiline components side by side, i.e. two lists, the first list component in the array gets rendered and then the other. This makes it almost impossible to render the lines in those two components side by side. In the sample below, the Report Header would be rendered, then the Address block, then the Other Data block, then the Order History Table and then the Account Statement table.
Positioning of text boxes is almost impossible. We are able to find out how many centimeters/inches/millimeters/points a control is located from the left border. But how can we translate this into i.e. how many spaces will we need to add for padding?
The column width can't be determined. SSRS adds a line break if the cell text is longer than the column width.
We have reports which look something like this:
Code Block
Code Block
REPORT NAME
MANAGER NAME
ACCOUNT REPORT DATE
First Name: XXXXXXXXXXXX Other Data: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX Last Name: XXXXXXXXXXXX More Data: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX Address: XXXXXXXXXXXX More Data: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX City: XXXXXXXXXXXX
I also got some advice that SSRS is probably the wrong tool. And I also read this in some of the "Plain Text" posts here. And I am actually surprised about this. People suggest to look for some other tool and not use i.e. email subscrptions, other rendering formats, SSRS security model, snapshot history, report models and all the other goodies only because we can't render in simple text?
If anyone has any information to share, I would very much appreciate it. We also looked at third party tools and plug ins but couldn't find any! If anyone knows of a company who would be able to help us, let me know!
I really would love to pull this project off with SSRS 2005 because I Iike the technology and SSRS provides a lot of functionality we want to leverage. I believe SSRS is the right tool for us and it covers 95% of our business requirements! But at this stage it doesn't look very rosy! Because of the Plain Text rendering!
I have created reports using Reporting Services and the problem I am having is with the Print Layout. I view a report with parameters and print. I then change the parameters and click 'View Report' again and the new report is displayed. However, the report does not refresh in the Print Layout, so if I try to print the 2nd report, the first report is the one that is printed. Any ideas how to solve this?
As far as I know there are 2 ways to render the report in a Web page: 1. Using ReportViewer control and call its Render method 2. Using URL access
Which of the method is faster? As we are in the process of increasing the Performance of our Reporting Web Application. I appreciate any suggestions in this regard.
My report is currently rendering about 50,000 rows and can still be increased.I am using SSRS 2005.I am exporting my rdls into HTML,Excel and PDF.My problem is when i export all the rows in PDF it won't continue and an error was produced.It says "Too many results, please constrain your parameters or try the other format."But using the same parameter which brings out the 50,000 rows,it works fine in HTML and Excel.
Which of the 3 rendering extension is the fastest in performance?Could it be HTML?What could be the reason why it wont work on PDF?Can't it contain such bulk record?Or is there anything can be done to solve the problem? If anyone have encountered the same problem,we will be happy to hear from you.Any ideas and comments will be greatly appreciated..Thanks
we are using the sql server 2005 reporting tool and we are trying the render the data into the report. and we are getting this error.basically we are trying to render huge data.
The selected report is not ready for viewing. The report is still being rendered or a report snapshot is not available. (rsReportNotReady)
