SSRS Exported PDF and TIF report render differently than in the report viewer

Question

I'm seeing basically the same issue described here

I have a table that starts in the middle of the first page, and, depending on the size of the table, it should wrap onto the next page. This behaves fine when using the viewer, but when exporting to a pdf or tif image, things are displayed differently. Instead of starting on the first page and wrapping onto the second, it moves the entire table to start on the second page, leaving lots of ugly white-space on the first page. I've made sure that KeepTogether is false on the table, and there is no header/footer on the page (so it can't extend beyond the page's width).

Has anyone seen this problem, or know of a solution/troubleshooting steps?

Thanks!

Answer 1

The problem was fixed by re-creating the report(s) in question using the Business Intelligence Development Studio 2008 (instead of 2005). Don't know what was different in the re-created report, but it works properly now.

Answer 2

Anyone else found a good solution to this that doesn't involve upgrading? I'm running into a very similar issue and upgrading to SSRS 2008 isn't feesible for many months.
