I have a report which I can print on legal paper, once I choose the landscape settings on print menu. When the same report is set to export to a file share in pdf format, it renders in portrait format. Is it possible to have the pdf document look like the landscape view so that the user can just hit print.
Hi, This is because there are many columns need to display ,when users export to excel ,now they have to manually adjust the worksheet as one page . Therefore,as the title,can anyone help me?
I have a report that needs to be on landscape, but am only limited to printing portrait style when I render a PDF report in reporting services. Is it possible to render a report in landscape or even better, size the PDF via reporting services.
I've thrown together a homegrown Reporting Services viewer that is basically a wrapper for a browser control. It will reside in our app alongside the Crystal report viewer until we have phased out Crystal.
My company has a .Net app that embeds the reportwriter for displaying (and printing) reports. This seems to work fine visa vis printing reports in landscape mode, although odly if you look at the printer properties it SAYS it is priting in portrait. In any case, the problem comes when this default reportwriter isn't used but rather an rdl file is generated programmatically. No matter what width and height settings we use, the document unfailingly prints in portrait mode. I've looked to see whether there is any way to force the printer mode, but it seems there isn't, at least not through an rdl. Or what SHOULD work (setting the width larger than the heigh) does not. I'm wondering if anyone else here has run into difficulties like this if there are any solutions or places I might look for answers? Thanks!
Hello, I have a report that I am creating in sql reporting services, I want my report to be exported in landscape PDF file format. I Went to the report properties then set the width = 11 in and height 8.5.
When i export my report to a PDF file it did not display it in landscape format!
Do i need to make the report go sideways? if yes how! for example
how would i write a textbox which has the label Time sideways?
Is it possible to suppress the output of certain report elements when the report is printed or exported? I want a particular image element that has a hyperlink to be visible when the report is viewed within RS's ReportViewer, but don't want it to show up on the printed or exported file. I figure, if this is even possible, the most obvious methods would be either:
1. Put the element in the page header or footer, then set up the page header or footer to not show up on the printed or exported report.
2. Put the element anywhere on the report, and set it to hidden when the report is printed or exported.
Are either of these possible? If not, is there another way to accomplish this?
I have a user that says that after she installed the ActiveX control for printing, that she can no longer export the reports. Has this happened to anyone else? What settings do I need to check on her machine to fix this problem?
I got this weird problem and I was wondering whether anyone has an idea of how to resolve this.
I have a working report on the RS server, ran the report and tried to print it straight from the page by clicking on the Print button.
When it printed, it gave me additional pages as though the margins were incorrect. I have additional space on the left of the report, which pushes it out towards the right (very slight but noticable) which ended up printing "blank pages" ( basically only the page header). Moreover it didn't print any of the page footers ( which has the page numbers).
The weird part is that, I tried to export it to PDF format, and when I take a look at the pdf version, it looked fine with no formatting errors. Even printing the pdf works great.
I was wondering whether there was some bug with the RS Server or do I need to do somethin with the config file ? please advise. thanks !
When I open the spreadsheet in Excel 2000, it works fine. When I try to print, it crashes Excel. In testing, I narrowed it down to the Header/Footer, because it also crashes when I go to Page Setup and click on the header/footer tab.
However, I can print the same spreasheet from Excel 2007.
Am I just dealing with a "you need to upgrade all your clients" situation, or is there a known issue with certian formatting that is passed out with reports that is not supported by older versions of Excel?
I am using Reporting Services 2005 SP2 to serve up the report that is exported to Excel.
We are having problems printing Reports (when printing by clicking on the AcitiveX print control), where the font for the fields are set to "C39HrP24DhTt" (barcode).
While viewing the report it displays as Barcodes but while printing, the Barcode does not get printed, but the string gets printed.
Environment: SSRS 2005
Using the ReportViewer Control in a .Net 2.0 Web App to render the reports.
BarCodes print fine in the following situations:
1. When the Report is exported to Excel and when printed from there
2. When you click on the print button on Internet Explorer
3. When saving as html (from view source) and opening that html document and printing.
BarCodes do NOT get printed in the following situation:
1. When printing by clicking on the "Print" (Active X Control) icon. Even the "Print Preview" does not show the Barcode.
UPDATE #2: When it said "Do you want to install Microsoft SQL Server" I said "yes" and that caused it to work. I exited and re-ran and now the print runs w/o the "install SQL Server" (If the prompt had said "Do you want to install the print dialog" we wouldn't be having this discussion...)
UPDATE: After posting this i discovered that the same thing occurs when attempting to print the report direct from IE6: First a dialog pops up "Do you want to install this software?" Name: Microsoft SQL Server. When I click "Don't Install" I get the dialog "unable to load client print control." Since this happens direct from IE6 I suspect it's browser settings. I'll resume tomorrow and post a followup.
My WinForm C# app integrates Reporting Services by calling them from WebBrowser controls. The problem is attempts to print cause a dialog: "unable to load client print control."
I've read prior posts that say "enable Active-X in your browser" - I don't know how to do that from a WebBrowser control.
Any ideas how to support Reporting Services "Print" from within a WebBrowser control?
I have a problem where i need to show 18 columns in 1 row but can get it in one row, the most the user wants is 2 rows but the first 4 columns cant be touched. eg. row1 Col1 Col2 Col3 Col4 Col5 Col6 Col7 Col8 Col9 Col10 Col11 row2 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
I am kind of lost on how to show this in a nice format.
Does anyone have any creative idea, as i would like to capture the users. The Fields are also lengthy so it makes it difficult.
How can I set the page orientation to landscape? I tried to set "printDocument.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = true;" but it didn't work. I have spent hours fixing the problem but I couldn't get it work. Below is the code:
I ahve a report, that has 24 fields in the layout. When I tried to print the reprot, it prints BLANK pages, in between and at the start. I have confirmed that the width BODY of the report, < width of the report properties. It still prints blank pages.Pl advise.
All of my reports that are formatted 11x8.5 are outputting to PDF correctly. When I open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat, it appears in Landscape on the screen. However, when I click the print button, by default it is printing it in portrait. I can go to File-->Print Setup and change the orientation from Portrait to Landscape, but why doesn't it translate from the file orientation? This may just be a bug in the Adobe Acrobat software, but I want to make sure there isn't something I can do.
We have a report that prints correctly (in landscape) in the folder that is deployed to but the linked report in a different folder prints in portrait?
I'd like a parameter for the report layout: Portrait Or Landscape. So is it possible to set the page high and width using an expression or in code based on my parameter?
Also on a similar note. I want a parameter for 'Page Break After X'. Is it possible to apply a page break after my table group X based on this parameter? I know if I edit the group I can tick 'page break at end' but I can't apply an expression to this.
I have reports, set to print on Landscape and Legal ie 14 * 8.5. However, when certain users try to print the report, it prints it in Letter, even though the report is set to print in legal /landscape.
The strange part is that for most users it prints correctly in legal, only for some it is on letter. Any idea why this would happen?
Does anyone know how to prevent automatic landscape setting? I need it to print an invoice/receipt-like form which using custom paper size (width: 8.5in, height 5.5in)..it is half of letter size and must be printed as portrait.
RS has problem that it turns landscape automatically if the width is longer than height, which is not expected. By the way Crystal Report can do this successfully but CR has another different problem also......
Can RS do the same as CR in term of page layout? Please help...
The goal is to produce a single PDF consisting of a number of subreports. Some are landscape, others are portrait. The subreports may also be run as independent reports. The master report defaults to the width of the widest subreport, which is landscape. This causes all portrait subreports to spill over. Your suggestions / comments are appreciated.
I have a report that I need to develop in landscape format. Also I need it to be landscape when converting to PDF and taking printouts. let me know the exact height and width measurements in inches for the report and report body?
I am trying to print a report in landscape mode from VS 2003 from designer preview or at run time. The users don't want to change a mode manually. I tried to make width 11 or 11.5 in and height 8.5in with zero margins and 0.5in (tried a lot of combinations) - doesn't work! still printing in portrait. Please help! Thank you
I have deployed a report that is configured for landscape printing. It does print in landscape, however, only the first seven columns appear on the first page and the other five columns appear on the next page. Is there a method, like in print preview setup in MS Excel, where we can scale down the print (like to 80%) so all columns appear on each page?
