Problems creating documents/letters in SSRS

Question

I have created a Violation Letter and Administrative Citation Letter in SSRS report builder. I can not seem to get the margins right. I've look everywhere online and different forums but can't seem to find anything on letters/document building in SSRS. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get some knowledge on this?

Hi @Steeena ，
Unfortunately, you need to manually set report properties in SSRS. You could also use the extended tools in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance to create a custom report design, and then import the model in visual studio. Please see: Create custom designs for business documents.

In SSRS, we can adjust the layout by changing the page settings in the report properties. The following links will help you understand "the physical page size" and "The Report Body"
And the concept of "Margins". Please see: Pagination in paginated reports (Report Builder).

It is worth mentioning that, although your report can be perfectly rendered when previewing, there may be deviations when you export the report. This is due to different rendering effects caused by different rendering extensions.When you run a report on the report server, the report uses the HTML renderer. HTML follows a specific set of pagination rules. If you export the same report to PDF, for example, the PDF renderer is used and a different set of rules are applied; therefore, the report paginates differently. To successfully design an easy-to-read report for your users that is optimized for the renderer that you plan to use to deliver your report, you need to understand the rules used to control pagination in Report Builder. For more information, please see: Rendering behaviors in a paginated report (Report Builder).
