Margins in ReportViewer

[Guest]

Using the WebForms.ReportViewer when I export to PDF, the margins of the
report are too large. How can I change the margins of my report to make
better use of the printed page space?

Hi Herb,

As for the report margin of ASP.NET Webform ReportViewer displayed report,
are you using Server Report from SQL Server reporting service or local
client report(rdlc file) in project?

Based on my experience, for the Reporting Service report, the margins are
configured through the report page's layout setting and are stored in RDL
file(for server report) or RDLC file(for visual studio developed client
report). Whenever, you're designing a report, in the design-time "layout"
view, you can configure the "margins" for the report through the following
steps:

1. click on the background of the report

2. In the property window, locate the "Layout" category and you can find
the "Margins" setting

After you change this margins setting, it will reflect to the exported PDF
and TIFF report output. For normal HTML output, margin is not displayed.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng

I am using the rdlc report within the project. When in Design mode of the
rdlc, I have a Body section. The Properties for the Body do not have a Layout
option. Where do I find the Layout property?

Nebermind, I found it. When in design mode there is a square in the upper
left-hand corner. If I click it, I get Report Properties. There still isn't a
"Layout" property, but there are "Margins" properties.

Thanks,
Herb

Hi Herb,

Yes, for the RDLC client report, the design-time surface is the same as the
RDL server report designer. And the "Layout" is not a property, it is a
category which include those properties associate with layout designing.
For example, the "Margins", "PageSize", "InteractiveSize" ..

If you have any further question or meet anything else need help, please
feel free to post here.
