SSRS Report - how to center align the exported PDF ?

Question

Hi,

I have an SSRS report that renders perfectly fine in the report viewer but when exported to PDF, the report is left aligned. How can I change this alignment so that the report is now in the center?

I modified the following tablix properties as shown in the screenshot below--

But these settings didn't make much difference at all. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Regards
SLS

Hi @sravya shivapuram ,
When you preview the report in ReportViewer, the report is rendered by the HTML Rendering Extension. After you export the report as a PDF file, you use the PDF rendering extension to open the report.

You could customize rendering extension parameters in RSReportServer.Config, please make a backup in advance. In Reporting Services, device information settings are used to pass rendering parameters to a rendering extension. Each rendering extension accepts a specific set of settings.

For more information, please refer to: PDF Device Information Settings.
Customize Rendering Extension Parameters in RSReportServer.Config.
Passing Device Information Settings to Rendering Extensions.
Best Regards,
Joy

I modified the following tablix properties as shown in the screenshot below

That are the tablix properties, they don't have effect on the complete report as it.

You can modify the border size of the report so that the tablix & rest content are in the middle of the page.
