Dear all,

I have an issue about the number of page in my report. When i try to preview my report in AX the number of page show just only 23 pages but when i print out to the paper, it shows 44 pages. After i check the number of records in page 1 , in AX shows 35 records but on paper shows 20 records in page 1. The data is same between in AX and paper.

Does any one know what is the root cause ?

Thanks

Regards

RE: The number of page different between AX and after print out

Hi,

it`s due to the fact, that the report inside AX is shown in the reportviewer, which is basically a html format. There objects and formats are shown differently than in pdf / print.

When designing the SSRS Report in Visual Studio, you`ll two different size options. Interactive size and papersize, both should have the same inches.

But the larger the body of the report get`s, the more the page count differs between Reportviewer and other formats..

So never trust the pagecount in the report viewer, always save as a pdf and look at the informations there.

There are different workarounds for this problem (like always show as a pdf inside ax instead of reportviewer, make your own pagecounts as business logic inside ax etc.), but all comes with a lot of costs and ressources.
