PDF export and invisible columns

I have a report with some columns that are visible\invisible based on a
parameter value. The report renders fine in HTML and when exported to Excel.
But when its exported to PDF the report shows blank white space for some of
the columns that are invisible, e.g. the report is 3 pages wide when the
collumns are all visible, it is 1 page wide when some are invisible, but if
you export the 1 page wide report to PDF it still comes out as 3 pages wide,
with the last 2 pages just alll blank space.
ANything I can do?Did you find any solutions? I had teh same problem.
I am setting the visibility for the Rows through the expression. They are
not showing in HTML mode. However, If I export to PDF it shows some white
spaces.

No, never found a solution. I am afraid that you dont get many replies to
your queries in this forum.

order to shrink up the hidden columns then you will need to set the
visibility property on each column, not just the tablerow. Very
tedious but I believe that this may be what your report needs...
Matt A|||i have a similar problem. html & xls work fine, but when you export to
csv, the columns are hidden no matter what you do...

the Visibiliy of every cell in that Row. Still it doesn't make any difference.
This is creating space at the end of the Report. ( I have few Sub Reports).
If I set the hidden false then the white spaces are disappearing. However
this works well in HTML Viewer.

Password Property in ConnectionManager

I'm developing a custom manager in SSIS that has several properties defined. One property is a password string that is visible in clear text in the properties pane. I'm trying to figure out how to create a masked field in the properties pane that will mask the text and not present this in clear text. Can someone send me instructions or code samples in C# for doing this? BOL doesn't provide any information on doing this.Hi,

we're facing the same problem, but haven't found any helpful information about it.

This post doesn't really help with the issue not displaying pwds as plain text.

Hope you guys can help.
