I'm really having a tough time getting the speed of my PDF exports down to something reasonable. The reports I'm generating are not really summary or aggregation reports, they're "everything" reports with a great deal of text. Report page counts can be tens, hundreds, or even thousands-- alas, the requirements are fixed. The export is so slow that I've had to run the ReportProcessor in a Windows Service to do it all asynchronously. Within the report designer's preview tab in Visual Studio the generation seems to take seconds instead of minutes or hours.
To anyone reading this, I'd appreciate some tips on formatting my reports to improve speed of export to PDF.
