When exported to PDF, margins set in "Report Layout" are being ingored by ASPOSE.

Steps:

In the attached rdl file, I have the set the top margin as 0.5in Both of these values were ignored by the ASPOSE.

In order to set the margin, I opened report properties window Report -> Report Properties. Then I clicked on "Layout tab" and specified the margins there.

I am attaching the rdl file and the generated PDF. Also attaching a image with description of the problem.

 

Hello Venugopal,

Thanks for your interest in our products.

I've tried testing the scenario over my end but I'm afraid I'm unable to do so. The report file is referencing to some DataSource "UWS" and I'm unable to use this report. Can you please share some report based over AdventureWorks database or if possible, can you please share the DataSource.

I've tried to replicate the issue with one of my sample report created using AdventureWorks Database. For the testing purpose, I've set the Top margin of report as 2.5inc and Left margin as 2.0inc. I've created two PDF documents, one using Adobe Acrobat extension and other using Aspose.Pdf for SSRS. Both the files are in attachment, please take a look.

We apologize for your inconvenience.

Hi Nayyer

In your example you dont have a page header. I have modified my report to use a dummy DS and uploading the datasource too. As you can see in the PDF generated, there is no margin between the page header and the top of the page instead it is getting applied between page header and body.

rptCFISQuoteDO_TEST.rdl - Test Report

DummyDS.txt  - Shared data source used by test report. Please change the extension to rds

rptCFISQuoteDO_TEST.pdf - PDF generated by using ASPOSE

Hi Nayyer

This has addressed the header margins issue, however it created some major issues.

1.) Margins in page footer are not working.
2.) Text in footer is overlapping with the text in the body.

I am attaching the report & the PDF i generated for reference.

Thanks
Venu

Hello Venugopal,

Thanks for sharing the sample reports.

I've tried testing the reports over my end but I'm afraid I couldn't complete the test because the sample report subConditionsQuote.rdl is referencing to some external datasource UWS and while opening the file rptCFISQuoteDO_Test_3.rdl I'm getting the following error message (shown in attached screen shot).

Can you please share the resource files similar to the one that you've shared over this link, so that we can test the scenario once again.

We apologize for your inconvenience.

Hello Venu,

Thanks for sharing the resource files.

I've tested the scenario with subConditionsQuote_Test.rdl and I'm able to notice the problem. But, when I've tried viewing the rptCFISQuoteDO_Test_3.rdl report, I'm getting the following error message "Error while loading code module: 'UWWSRSLib', Version=1.0.2960.27347, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. Details: Could not load file or assembly 'UWWSRSLib' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.". Can you please again take a look over this matter.

We're sorry for your inconvenience.
