Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You create some web-based reports in Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services (SSRS 2008 R2) or in Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services (SSRS 2012).

  • You define the page size of the reports in the Report Properties dialog box.

  • You use the RSClientPrint control to print the reports.

In this scenario, the printed reports may not have the same page size that is defined in the report properties.

Cause

The issue occurs because of a rounding problem that occurs when the dimensions of the report page are converted from inches to millimeters (mm). For example, if a report page that is 210 x 297 mm (A4) is rounded by the RSClientPrint control, the new size will be 210.1 x 296.9 mm. When the new dimensions are sent to certain printers the A4 size is not selected. This occurs because the new report page is larger than the standard A4 size.
