PDF file featuring only the first page... why?

Hello,
I am struggeling with my .PDF file exports. One of our reports outputs 250
pages in the web interface. When I ask to output a PDF version of it, the
file contains only the first page but I really don't know why. Could it be a
problem with the .RDL file?!?
Thanks!
Marc LacoursiereAfter some more inspection... I have found something interesting!
The report contains a table which has 2 groups. Both of them were set to do
a page break after them. If I remove the page break in the inner group, but
leave the other intact, the problem is fixed.
For this report, it is now working perfectly. But I am still wondering why
would the PDF rendering stop because of a table containing two groups both
doing page breaks?
Suppose I am required to create such a behavior in a different report, would
I still be stuck with that issue?

PDF Export Never Prints Landscape

Hello,
I would like to know if there is a fix to the PDF export always
printing in Portrait? No matter what I try with my RDL, it always
exports the report to Portrait, is there a way to programmatically
tell the reports server to always export to Landscape with exporting
to PDF? With Excel, MHTML, HTML...they work fine, I am able to print
the exported data in landscape, just not when I export to .PDF
Thank you in advance for ANY light you can shine on this!
Kind Regards,
Patrick
please reply to shidoshixx<AT>hotmail<dot>com (You know what to
change...)Hi,
Swap the Height and Width in Reporting Service and Design the report
Then Export. Check the option Auto-Rotate and Center in Print Dialog of PDF
Then you would get the print in landscape.
Hope this Helps

PDF"
I can't find it on my Print Dialog. Could my print Dialog be different?
Thanks in advance!

PDF Export

Hi,
Currently the PDF Export Feature only exports the data that is shown in the
screen.
For Ex. I have a textbox and made its property "Can increase to accomdate
contents " to be false. When the report is renderd it shows 10 characters and
when exported to excel it shows all the 20 characters. but when exported to
PDF it shows only those 10 characters.
How can we make the PDF to show all the 20 characters
Thanks

Are you sure that the remaining 10 characters are not wrapping onto
another page? If they are, you can put the textbox control into a
rectangle control. If this doesn't help, you can either try setting
Increase to accommodate contents to true -or- I would suggest checking
for product updates for Adobe Reader and if you are using SQL Server
2005, make sure that you have SP2 installed as well. Hope this helps.
