Problem with RDLC Export to PDF

I have an rdlc reports which renders fine within our asp.net 3.5 site. However, when I use use its built-in export to PDF feature, the resulting PDF file has three blank pages after each page of data. So my my 5 page report turns into 20 pages in PDF.

What am I missing?

Re: Problem with RDLC Export to PDF

Look at the propeties of the elements in your report. Make sure you do not have any boxes checked that says Page Break etc...

Thanks for the helpful hint. However, it only solved half of the problem! Now that I have removed all references to pagebreak from rdlc, the PDF result still has one blank page after each page of data. So my 5 page report now shows as 10 pages in the PDF format.

Re: Problem with RDLC Export to PDF

Are you using tables?

Make sure you check each option:

PageBreakAtEnd

PageBreakAtStart

RepeatFooterOnNewPage

RepeatHeaderOnNewPage

see if any of thos are causing it.

Re: Problem with RDLC Export to PDF

None of those helped; I'm still getting one blank page after each page of data.

Re: Problem with RDLC Export to PDF

Are your margins not setup correctly? If you exceed even just a little it will kick out blank pages.

Yes, margin setting was the issue and it's OK now. Thanks.
