bug? outlook web access

Scenerio:
RS2000. Subscription delivers email with PDF attachment.
When the email is opened in Outlook client, the attachment is there and
working as expected.
Problem:
When the email is opened in the Outlook Web client (OWA), the paperclip is
there identifying the attachment, but when the email is opened, there is no
attachment.
It seems to be happening only with attachment coming from reporting
services. I can send an email with another PDF file and open it fine. The
PDF files are small in size so I do not think it is a size proble.I just tried this and also was not able to see the .pdf file. This appears
to be a bug to me. I would contact customer support to help get this issue
resolved.

BUG: Leading Spaces in PDF stripped

Hello
We are currently generating reports in PDF format and leading spaces are now
being stripped from printed reports. This started to happen when when we
applied SP2. Has anyone else encountered this problem and if so how did you
get around it.
Much appreciated,
Kevin Weir
DirectWest PublishersI'm a little surprised no one has had a similar problem. Leading spaces are
definetly stripped from ALL strings when rendering to PDF. This started to
happen after SP2 was installed.
If someone from Microsoft sees this post are you aware this is an actual bug.
Regards
Kevin Weir

I have experienced the same thing, I posted a few oddities after applying
SP2 and I have not received any help. Unfortunatley I don't have a
workaround for this one except to redesign. This is very aggravating as I
had to go in to a number of reports to fix once this SP was applied. It was
the only way I could combine bold font with normal and now that does not work
either.
I will continue my search, if I found I will update this post, please do the
same.

I will certainly let you know if I find a solution.
Now if I could just find link/e-mail address where I could let Microsoft
know about this bug.

BUG when export to PDF

I have this bug when tring to export a report to pdf...
Exception of type
Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportRendering.ReportRenderingException was
thrown. (rrRenderingError) Get Online Help
Exception of type
Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportRendering.ReportRenderingException was
thrown.
Index and length must refer to a location within the string. Parameter name:
length
Any ideas? This only happens with 1 report, all other reports work fine...I finally found the cause of the bug if anyone is interested..
In the rdl code of the report I saw that there were 2 <language> parts, the
<Report> had a langauge setting of en-IRL but there was a textbox somewhere
else on the report that also had its own <language> setting which was
different to the report setting. I removed the <language> setting from the
textbox and redeplyed the report and now the report exports to PDF.

Bug on PDF output?

PDF report has every other page blank. I don't know if this is a
configuration problem or it's a bug. I hope it's not a bug. Please advice.
ThanksDon't fret, it is a feature. Ensure that the width of the body (the white
area) plus the sums of the width of the left and right margins are less than
or equal to the width in the PageSize property of the report (the camel?
color area).

Broken link in e-mail subscription

I have scheduled the first report at this customers site to send out e-mails
of reports. It is sending out the report just fine and including the PDF
file that I requested however I also checked the Include Link box in the
schedule because of the requirements of the users wanting to hide details in
the e-mailed report and wanting to link to the report and then drill down to
see the details only when necessary.
When the e-mail is sent it doesn't formulate the URL correctly and says the
following:
The report is accessible at the following address:
http://localhost/reports?%2fAccounting%.........
The closest thing I've found online to resolve this was this link:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/0/e/50ec0a69-d69e-4962-b2c9-80bbad125641/ReadmeSQL2005.htm
-- See "Incomplete Report Server Configuration on an SSL-Protected Server
Causes Broken Report Links in Report Server E-Mail Notifications" section.
Unfortunately, an examination of the suggestion revealed that we are not
using SSL and when I checked the <UrlRoot> in the RSReportServer.config file
it was set correctly to the server name that I'd want used in replacing
localhost in the URL.
Does anyone know how to fix this?You'll actually need to modify the rswebapplication.config file for that
setting.
The section should look like the following to get your issue resolved:
<ReportServerUrl>http://SERVERNAME/ReportServer</ReportServerUrl>
<ReportServerVirtualDirectory></ReportServerVirtualDirectory>

That didn't work; the e-mailed report still says localhost. Does it require
a reboot of the server or the service?
I changed two files named rswebapplication.config located here on the server:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\Reporting Services\ReportManager
and
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3\Reporting Services\ReportManager
Any ideas?
Thanks,

figure out which instance you are connecting to and modify the correct
configuration files. Also, if you modified the rsreportserver.config file
for the wrong instance then that could have caused it as well.

One thing though, I couldn't google a fix to this problem. Perhaps there is
something that could be added to BOL? Or did I miss it?

report from somewhere and if it is configured as localhost in all the
configuration files then its going to use localhost.

Brian Bischof's comparison between Crystal Reports and SQL Reporting Services

Could someone paste a link to a place where I could download the .pdf
comparison between Crystal Reports and SQL Reporting Services that was
done by Brian Bischof?
His web site seems to be down and I really need this to help make up
my mind.
Thanks in advance.
Jimis this the one?

I cannot be sure if it is because of the writers lack of knowledge of SSRS
and in depth experience with CR, or what the issue might be.
However, I have 10 years of experience working with CR (since v 5) and about
a year with RS, so I am in the same situation, so if I can recognize how he
is misleading, he should be able to as well.

You right. I just read it. I almost choked when I saw his take on the
license fees. I'd say that most of us run RS on the same box. He then
quotes $7,500 for CR Server but neglects to say that it's for 5 users. 10
users will cost you $15,000, 20 will cost you $30,000.
Read the URL and think about the bias of the source.

BPA and reporting

Are there any facilities for printing to a file or exporting to PDF etc? I am running in a very secure environment where printing is not allowed in the domain due to data security issues.
I would like to run the BPA and capture the report in a file that can then be shipped off for viewing /printing
Also being able to capture the scan details in the printed report would be nice (at least as an option during the print process).

We're working on improving the reporting to simplify some of the scenarios
you have.
In the mean time, you may want to BCP the data from the bpa repository
database into a file.

Border missing when exported to PDF

When exporting to PDF some of the columns have the border line missing
although the border line is visible when exported as HTML or web
archiveI have the same issue. Cell borders on tables (0.5 pt gray) randomly
disappear in the PDF rendering, but look perfect in HTML4.0. Some are there,
some are not. I tried increasing the resolution of the PDF to no avail.
Is this a bug with the PDF rendering? Is there a workaround? This is a big
issue for us.

Apparently several people have reported Acrobat 6.x has issues with borders
on text boxes and other thin horizontal lines. It was unclear if the issue
was the in the PDF format itself (distiller problem) or if the rendering was
messed up in the Reader.
Has anyone tried looking at this with Reader 5.x?
Microsoft, can you confirm that this is an issue with Acrobat Reader 6.x
rather than the PDF rendering extension for Reporting services?
Much thanks, David
