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!
Sincerely yours,

PDF format - Garbled Data

Hello,
I searched for a response from the already posted queries. But I could not
find an answer to the problem that I have.
I have a report that looks fine on the screen and also when exported to
Excel. But
when exported to PDF some textboxes display garbled data. It may be because
of some characters in those textboxes.
Looks like a lot of people have this problem since some time. (I saw a
question that was posted last year related to the same problem)
Is there a solution to this problem?
Thanks,
SangDo you use the right font (has glyphs for these characters)? Is the font
installed on client and server?

the field. If i render the report with different criteria, it comes out ok.
Im curious to see what characters are causing this. It renders perfectly in
HTML though. This is only a problem with the PDF export.

PDF Export Causes 100 % CPU - MS Response appreciated

I have a 100 page report that I render as PDF and then show in an
IFrame from a C# Ascx user control. It takes about 3 minutes to
render if ONE person is rendering the report. The CPU goes to about
50 %. If TWO people attempt to render the report, the CPU goes to
100% and the reports don't render (at least after 11 minutes).
If I render to HTML, it takes about 15 seconds although HTML Rendering
is not an option in this application.
This is running on a server with 1 GIG of memory Xeon 2.38 processor.
I've installed Service Pack 1 (although it blasted through the install
REALLY FAST so I have my doubts).
I had thought that SP1 was supposed to improve PDF rendering. Is
there something I can program to improve performance?
This issue, if not resolvable, makes RS unusable for this application
which is not an option I'm pleased with.
Thanks in Advance for the Reply

heuert@.comcast.netSP1 does contain some improvement for PDF rendering. We are continuing to
improve it for the next release. If you can send the repro (RDL and data),
we will investigate to see what is causing the problem in your particular
scenario.
