ssrs 2012 place background image on report

  • On a new ssrs 2012 report, I am told by the print shop that they cannot put a background image on paper before the ssrs report is executed.
    I am also told that I need to place 'standard wording' on the back side of the paer,
    They want me to place a background image on the paper. They also want me to then display student infromation on top of that back ground image.
    Thus I am trying to determine how to accomplish this request.
    If there some kind of picture image that I can place on the paer as the student information is printed? If so, what format would that
    picture image be in like jpeg?
    If that is not possible, would I need to have 1 ssrs written to just place the background image on the paper and another ssrs report to actually place
    the student information on the paper?
    Also for the 'standard wording' that needs to appear on the back side of the paper would I need a third ssrs 2012 report?
    Thus can you tell me how to meet the requirements that I have?

    For background image, refer to this document that will walk you through the process:
    Add a Background Image (Report Builder and SSRS)

    Duplex printing is more of a printer issue than SSRS issue. And SSRS has no knowledge about the different printers settings. You would need to configure it with your printer and creating necessary page breaks.

  • Thank you for your answer so far!
    I have the additional questions/comments:
    I need to print 10 student activity cards per page, There will be 2 columns with 5 rows on each 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of paper. On each of the 10 student activity cards, I need to print the same standard header and background image on the front side. I need to also need to print the same message on the back side of each activity card.
    Thus can you tell me and/or shoe me how to accomplish this goal?

    Page 1 is the activity card page <make sure you get a page break and then> Page 2 is the back of page 1,

    Page 3 is the activity card page, <make sure you get a page break and then> Page 4 is the back of page 3,
    Page 5 is the activity card page <make sure you get a page break and then> Page 6 is the back of page 5, etc.

    Don't worry about the printing for now - it's just an every other page type of think. The activity cards on odd pages then a page break and the next page is the even page for the back of the previous activity card.  Please post what you have done and what isn't working.

  • Thanks!
     I want to mention the following:
     1. How do you setup even and odd page numbers in ssrs? Is the logic on the Tablix? Can you show me how to setup the even and odd page numbers in ssrs?
     2. How will I know the 2 page will print correctly on the back of the first page? I will want to have the back side message centered on the backside of the activity cards.
     3. What do you want me to show you so far? The code and/or the designer view?
