SQL Server Reporting - Designer

Grrrr - can MS not put together a designer that actually does WYSIWYG reports?! The amount of time I've wasted having to resize reports that are perfectly within the confines of an A4 page but magically get wider once they're exported to PDF, is verging on obscene!!
It definitely isn't definatley

That's more an issue with PDF and A4 not actually being the same. You can't really blame MS for that.

The document properties in Acrobat list the page as being A4 (8.27" * 11.69") - are you sure this is the case? Do you know what the actual dimensions are (which would be massively helpful! :-)?

A4 is 210mm x 297mm, dont know inches.

This is very unfortunate. Sometimes, these folks, who sign our paychecks, run amuck and crazy demanding rocket launching algorithm with high precision coupled with easy maintanability accompanied by object oriented concepts in VB.

And yet it still beats Crystal Reports... :-)

Maybe try changing the Dots Per Inch (DPI) setting of your PDF printer driver?...the scaling might be happening because you're sending higher or lower resolution than the driver is set at?
I've managed to get it sorted though more through a 'brute force' approach of going in and reducing all the margins and spacings to as small as possible (not 0 though, since that stopped some of the reports from rendering somehow!).

Depending on how you are converting the report you can specify different size margins for the PDF than the report. Calling the Render method to convert report http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa258532(SQL.80).aspx[^] Some PDF specific Device Information http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms154682.aspx[^] Passing Device information via XML or URL http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa179622(SQL.80).aspx[^] Hope this helps ease the pain...
