eliminating blank pages in SSRS 2005 pdf-generated report

I have a report that generates a number of blank pages at the start when rendering in pdf format. The first page has a table with conditional visibility on it, so that's likely contributing, but it's only one page, and there are sometimes 3-4 blank pages at the start, before the meat of the report begins. This only happens when rendering as a pdf, and the report's width is 8.25 inches, so I don't believe it's a case of horizontal wrapping.

I believe there's an option in SSRS 2008 开发者_开发百科that consolidates blank pages; is there anything similar in SSRS 2005 that I can try?

hi there: Check the ConsumeContainerWhiteSpace property on Report if you are using SSRS2008. Turn it to true. Or make sure your body size is set up correctly

Sizing of controls versus size of the body of the report is very often the issue here.

One quick way in SSRS 2005 is to blank the Body's size properties.

Right click on report surface, select Properties to get Body selected in the Property window. Then find the Size section and delete everything in. Save and try exporting to PDF.

When you do this, SSRS recalculates the Body size based on your controls in the report.

There is lots more excellent information here regarding other options

In SSRS 2005 try setting the CanGrow property of every textbox on your page to False. Helped my report. (My report has kind of free letter layout.)
