sql server reporting services : export issues

Two export issues. I suspect they are known issues, but I figure it's worth
posting.

My report is a very simple matrix.

1) Exporting to PDF results in lots of blank pages. This one has been
discussed here before. The old 'group it in a rectangle' trick doesn't seem
to help.

2) Exporting to Excel ignores the background colours I set for totals. The
'total' label cell is coloured properly, but the actual value cells in the
total column or row is left white.

Anyone have any ideas?

You can see my problem here. I need to print the reports. If you can't
print from the report manager, and the rendering is messed up in the PDF and
in Excel, what am I supposed to do?

The tiff rendering also adds blank pages... ugly.

If there are lots of people using reporting services (and I can see from
this newsgroup there are), someone must have an answer. Because if there
was no answer, nobody would be using it!

I'm reposting this because I have no answers yet... my previous two posts
follow:

The matrix is inside a list (of course). When the matrix grows, the list
also grows. But the matrix fits the page, the list shoots onto the next
page. Even though the list is supposed to be the same size as the matrix.
The only way to get rid of the blank page is to shrink the matrix so that it
only fills 3/4 of the page or something. That's no good when you are trying
to develop a report. You end up with a tiny font and a whole bunch of
whitespace.

I would love a fix for the Excel issue, too.
