PDF Format Issues

My report was beautiful until I put groups around my two tables... actually
at first it looked fine... then I started changing text box sizes etc...
suddenly every second page in my report is blank... not in the viewer... when
I export to PDF... anyone know a RS exorcist?A bit silly to reply to my own post... but maybe someone else will run into
this problem... and it can be frustrating so here's how I fixed my problem...
1st off... a "page" in html isn't exactly the same size as a page in PDF...
a page in PDF has to be the same size as your paper... or less... I don't
know if html even has an exact page size limit... NEways...
The report designer in Visual Studio will increase your page size... if you
try to move a control outside of the space you have set... a pretty annoying
feature if you ask me... given that you usually want a page size to be
exactly the same forever... and sometimes you are playing with a long text
box, and you might not see the part off to the side increasing your page
width.
Does anyone know... is there a way to lock the page size?
