SSRS/Report-Builder Hard page-break Rendering
I have a report that I created which lays a bunch of textboxes around in very specific areas to make a very nice looking report. It displays great in PDF because of the "hard page-break rendering" ... is there a way to force the HTML view to render it in this way as well? I don't think it makes sense to create a version for web-viewing and then create a version for PDF viewing.... Any suggestions?
Seems like a free-form report? If it is then the best way to handle them is by using List control. Following are BOL links for that?

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff519552%28v=sql.105%29.aspx If that does not suit you, then try adding some text fields with use of hidden property with each tablix? I beleive working on these hints, you would be able to overcome this.
Your question is a bit vague. If this pertains to unwanted soft page breaks, then this can be achieved by setting interactive height value to 0 or an extremely large number. If this is a different case, then can you please add some screenshots of the outputs? So we can understand the exact requirement.
Unfortunately I can't provide a screenshot as the report contains some very sensitive information - however, I think I can do a pretty good job of explaining it: The report contains an image in a rectangle. This image is like a template, it contains some very nice graphics and flow charts. It's about 8" x 8". Some of these flow chart items require figures to be entered, so what I've done is put several once-cell tablix's in various areas that contain various filters so that each part of the flow chart has the relevant figures, ie: in the "Implementation" flowchart, I've added a tablix that brings in the figure that relates to this, ie: $1,000,000. So I've positioned all of my tablixes so that they all appear in the perfect spots (when PDF or looking print preview mode)... but then when I look at it online, all of my tablixes are shifted an inch to the left or to the right, so the figures don't align with the image I am using as a background... so I was wondering if there was a way to force the HTML renderer to behave in a similar way to the PDF renderer, or do I have other options?
I found out why this is happening.... some of the tablix's occassionaly don't return any results, depending on what filters are used. It's only in these cases where the report is not consistent. For example, if one of the tablixes shows nothing, the rest of the tablixes are shifted to the left... Any idea on how I can get around this? I've changed my filter from the tablix to the row group, and this did not have any effect. I've also tried playing around with some of the tablix member properties like FixedData, etc... but no luck... Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks
