Export SSRS to PDF strange blank page issue

Question

All,

I can export my report to Word, and Excel with no issues.  I can export my report to PDF with 14 pages, based on date, with no problems.  If I run my report for a certain date and then export it to pdf if generates 6 of the 12 pages and then 6 blank pages.  It looks correct in the view, and will export to Word and Excel but not pdf for this one date.  Any help would be greatly received.

Thank you,

I think for the specfic date the data displayed is more and which may increase the width or height of report dynamically.

Hi Dan,

If you are running SSRS 2008 or higher version, please change report property ConsumeContainerWhitespace as Tue value, which controls white space in containers should be consumed when contents grow instead of preserving the minimum white space between the contents and the container.

Before exporting to PDF, you can previewing the report use Print Preview mode. Please don’t rely on Preview Report mode, as it’s a soft page-break renderer while both Print and PDF are hard page-break renderers.

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
