Hi guys:
I'm developing a report using SSRS 2008. This report has to meet some requirements our client has asked for, one of these requirements... The first page of the report has to be in portrait orientation, the rest must be on landscape orientation. Now, I know that SSRS 2008 does not offer this kind of functionality OOTB but I was wondering if any of you guys knew of some way to create a custom renderer or something else that I could use in order to use multiple page orientations. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 😀

I have no idea if this would work, but you might want to at least try it out.
Make your report 2 sub reports. The first page is the first sub report, that you build Portrait. Subsequent pages would be the second sub report that you build in Landscape.

There's a problem with that... The report containing the sub reports will have a page orientation of it's own, and the way sub reports work is that they adopt the orientation of it's parent report. Meaning that if I were to insert a sub report using the portrait orientation into a report in landscape it will consume two pages, and will be printed as landscape anyway. I'm thinking of making a custom renderer that will make use of some parameter(s) to decide which orientation to use. If someone has some ideas on how to replace the default renderer with a custom one it would be great 😉

I figured that was probably the case, but it was all I could think of. Good luck.
