Interactive Size/Report Size

Hello,

This is SQL 2005 Reporting Services. I have several reports that are repeating tables with grouped information and subtotals. When deployed, we are noticing that the interactive HTML view renders a great deal more detail per page than the printed version of the report.

This didn't really become a problem until a user reported an issue where they wanted to print pages 93-97 of a 104-page report. She based the page number selection on the page numbers she was seeing in the report viewer. When printed, she did not get the data she wanted to print... and the full printed version is about 50 pages longer than the interactive viewer version.

In my report I have the following settings (no page breaks on the groups or anything, it's just a table with a header, footer, and detail rows per group:

Interactive Size: 11"wide by 8.5" long (landscape)
PageSize: 11" wide by 8.5" long (same as above)
Margins: .5in (all 4 sides)

I get the same thing when previewing via Visual Studio... so I don't think it's a web viewer problem. Are there any options to work around this problem?

I guess not. The reporting rendering behaviour of the HTML is different than the printed one. I didn′t investigate that in detail so far, but I know about this issue that the page numbers don′t match in comparison with the HTML and the PDF export.

HTH, Jens Suessmeyer.
