Paginated report: Service export set up is different than local

Hi All

 

In latest release, When I set up Page size and export pdf locally, it comes out fine; however, when published to Service, it adds a blank page after each rectangle. 

 

Is there any different settings for Service now?  

 

Also, the differences between Service and Local is adding more steps in building formatted reports.

Now after publishing, I have to save it again locally before continuing for next round of changes.

There is no way to set up Page Size dynamically for different rectangles making it harder to predict Page width for Matrix with dynamic columns.

 

 

Please let me know if have any inputs here.

 

Thanks!

Hi  @abpgupta ,

you can also try disabling the report ConsumeContainerWhitespace property. It can only be set in the Properties pane.

It directs whether minimum whitespace in containers, such as the report body or a rectangle, should be consumed. Only whitespace to the right of, and below, the contents is affected.
