I'm creating a report to use as a service order print out for my companies software. For some of the reports the customers need to have custom fields and such designed by them. We built a custom designer, and using those fields, rebuilding custom portion into the report. I was printing out a page to use as a reference as I fix some alignment issues, and I notice none of the custom fields are printing. I currently have them set up as a sub report on a master report and seemed to work with the report viewer, but nothing else.
The first attachment Page4ReportViewer.png is what the viewer is showing currently in my application.
The second attachment Page4WhenSavedAsPDF.png is what the pdf version and printed version will resemble.

Hello Jacob,
According to your explanation you're creating or altering existing reports programmatically and this is a custom solution. We would not be able to provide any guidance as to what is happening without something runnable on our end that we can look into. If the data is there when showing the report in the viewer, but missing upon print and export to PDF (which is the same for the web report viewer), then most likely your custom logic/methods for the report definition creation is not getting invoked upon export.
Provide more info on how you bind the report - we highly recommend using our Data Source Components or NeedDataSource event to connect data. The NeedDataSource event is used only for binding the report and is cached, so if you're trying to alter or create report definition items in it, move that code to ItemDataBinding instead. If you are using parametrized constructor for binding purposes, be aware that the provided export/print functionality always uses the default constructor and parametrized constructors would not be invoked.
All the best,
Steve
