Problem Printing in PDF

Hello,

I have a report authored in ssrs and in PDF format.

Page set up:

Letter

Actual

Margin 0.5

Paper 8.5x12.5in. I have also tried 8.5x14in. One of the users prints well but one user who prints on a network printer does not have a good print output. any suggestion on how to work around this?

Hi, @mjsystemss 

You'll need to confirm in the report designer that Page Size is set to the actual print size (e.g., 8.5x14 inches) and not just Letter
O
r create a custom paper size (for network printers). Go to Control Panel > Devices & Printers, right-click on the target printer > Printing Preferences > Advanced > Paper Format, add a custom size (e.g. 8.5x14 inches), save as "Legal" or a custom name, and in the Printer Preferences, set the default paper to a custom size that matches the SSRS report
