PDF Margins

I have searched through out this newsgroup and seen several people
pose the question without response. I am trying to output some reports
to PDF from the standard RS interface
(http://localserver/reports/....) The report generates a PDF
perfectly except that the margins are 1 inch on each side (I don't
know anyone that uses that setting), and can't seem to find a way to
set this at design time. I have set the page size to 8.5 / 11 and
placed everything appropriately on the design time grid. I am a
Reporting Services noob, but have written a number of applications
using various 4GL's (Delphi, VS, etc). This is my first experience
with anything .Net, so any specific guidance related to developing in
.Net should be included.Hi Kevin,
Thanks for your posting!
From your descriptions, I understood you could like to know how to set
Report Margins when rendering to PDF format. If I have misunderstood your
concern, please feel free to point it out.
Based on my knowledge, please try change the Left / Right / Top / Button
Margins number under
Report -> Report Properties -> Layout
Thank you for your patience and cooperation. If you have any questions or
concerns, don't hesitate to let me know. We are always here to be of
assistance!

PDF Export Issue

I've searched through this newsgroup for an answer to my problem, and I have
not found one:
I have a (simple?) report that consists of a standard header, body, and
footer. In the body, I have a table that outputs eight columns. The header
pulls parameters that contain default values consumed from queries, and the
footer contains simple aggregate data. The report runs and looks beautiful
in the report viewer from an ASP.NET page.
The problem manifests itself when the report is exported to a PDF. For
every page of data (there should be four), I get three pages. One of the
pages contains the table data, while the other two simply contain header and
footer data, with a blank body. As mentioned, the report looks and acts
fine in preview mode and also in Report Viewer. It is only in the exported
PDF output that I notice the issue.
I can forward a copy of the exported PDF report if that would be needed to
troubleshoot this issue, and I can provided any additional details as
needed.
Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.

write "Make sure that your report is setup as follows: (Report.PageWidth -
Report.LeftMargin - Report.Right Margin) >= Body.Width", WHERE do you code that? Thanks!
