Page Rendering

Appologies for the Newbie question...However here we go...
I've a report that looks just great in Visual studio, but when I export it
to pdf things go south. The page breaks that are correct in the preview are
now incorrect in the pdf and there are blank pages mingled in the report.
Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do to try to fix this.
StanYea, the page is probably too big to render it to a A4 / US Letter format
(whatever you use). You have to calculate the borders and the page width to
get the estimated output. In Germany we have the A4 format which is about 21
cm in width. If you make the viewable are about 20 cm and the borders ar
each 2 cm the page will exceed to 24 cm and a new page has to be put in
while rendering. Try to narrow the borders.

> Stan|||I have a similar problem. Report looks great in Visual studio and in a
Browser, but when I convert it to pdf for printing, I am getting extra pages
in between with just a header printed on those pages.
I tried decrease the size of the report and make sure that it fits into 8
1/2 x 11 inches, but it did not help. I still have those annoying empty pages
in the printed report.
Any other suggestions on how can I fix it?
Thank you.

I have recently heard there is a bug which requires this ( until MS fixes
it.)
