Exporting SSRS reports to PDF with Background pattern - pattern not visible

Question

Hello,

I tried creating one simple bar chart report in SSRS, with background fill with pattern "UpwardDiagonal", the stripes on the column when viewed insider report viewer control is quite prominently visible, whereas when exporting the same report to PDF the lines are very thin and dense and hence makes it very difficult to differentiate between one column with pattern inside and one without. I have even tried various other pattern like "LightUpwardDiagonal" and "WideUpwardDiagonal" but all have same result when exported to PDF. Any reason why is it so? and is there any workaround for this please?

Regards,
Sujay Chakraborty

Solution 2

One can get decent pattern in PDFs by providing correct DpiX and DpiY values. Try 100 instead of 300.
