Print Layout on Published Paginated Report Changing Formatting
From what I have gathered, each renderer (PDF, excel, word) renders the paginated reports differently. While I was creating the report, I would run it in Report Builder and directly "print" to PDF to see if it looked ok, and it did look ok. However, when I exported to PDF, it would not look the same. Since I need to publish this to BI and BI does not give the option to direct print to PDF (you must export), I resolved to just published it to BI each time after I made an adjustment and clicked export to PDF to see how it looked. Thank you all for your help!
The same issue happens whether I export as PDF from Report Builder or export as PDF from the published report through the online service. It seems to be an issue specifically when rendering to Adobe PDF. So, I don't understand why rendering a PDF causes the issue.

Hi kmaynard ,
Based on your description, I created a paginated report:
Report Builder view is as follows:
When I publish to service and export as pdf, it reproduces your problem:
It's really annoying when you encounter such a situation, you can solve this problem by resizing the text box.
