The exact error message would be "A Drawing Error Occured"

As I had told we are having SQL Server 2000, SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services. Somebody in the forum suggested to install service pack2 which we did for earlier another issue where it was printing extra pages in both Excel and PDF. So after installing sp2 the PDF got messed up.

Any help in this regard is appreciated

Thanks|||

Hi,

This is probably an error in SP2, you can get a fix from Microsoft by contacting them on the mentioned ways here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912424/en-us

This is a PDF Error, probably a ressources not reachable or an out-of-memory error.

|||Hi
Thanks Jens the link helped us solve the issue.There is another related issue which if you could show us a little direction in solving it. Here is the issue

We are working on SQL Server Reporting Services 2000. We designed a

report and exported the same into excel. The original report has lets

say one page information, then before printing when we see print

preview it shows up an extra blank page and similarly if the there are

two pages in the report ,in the preview we are seeing 4 pages ie two

extra blank pages. Any help to solve this issue would be appreciated.

The same thing we are exporting in PDF format also and here to same

issue.

We are in need of a solution. It would be of great help if you could help us in getting a solution to this issue.
We have SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2000 Reporting services and Microsoft Office 2003

Thanks
|||Thats a really common problem. You defined the report margins to big. If the report exceeds the page format it will break the report to multiple pages. So make sure that the visible area of your report (and the additional borders) does not exceed the format specified on the report properties. Sizing the report will let you keep your report on one page per report page. Its something like playing around with the margins and sizes to fit all your data on one page.
