SSRS: Is there a page/length limit to image sizes. If so how do I extend it?

Hi Experts,
Is there a image page/length limit size. I have an image that goes over 13 pages long. However it stops short at 13 pages. It should be around 15 pages long.  The reason I have such a long image is to get around SSRS not able generate RTF information. So I get around this by creating an image of the RTF description field. Only problem is that some description fields are basically novels.

It's possible that the issue is with code which converts the RTF to an image but checking first that there is not some configuration somewhere limiting the image?

Many thanks,

That's a lot of image. What is the size of the actual image file? - that could be a limit in itself.

Could you clarify what you are saying about RTF and description fields? Are you referring to Rich Text Format? What is the requirement for working with RTF. Perhaps you could do what you need to do using some sort of extension.

Hi Megan, Yes Rich Text Format. I would be happy to use an extension. The only information I can find on using RTF in SSRS is to use an image. If you have any links or advice on how I can use an alternative method I would be happy to hear about it.
I am able to strip RTF and use that in the reports and now I can use an image of the RTF which is not ideal.

I actually need to see the RTF formatting in the reports which does the issue. Please let me know if you have any potential other methods other than an image.

Many thanks,
Craig

Hi Megan,
FYI - This is the link where which I followed to setup images. This is not ideal however:

Hi Megan,

Thank you very much for those links. I have seen a couple of them before. But Not the Aspose link. I would like to investigate that further. I had a bit of a look and couldn't find where the RTF conversion fits in? Do you have any further details on aspose?
Many thanks!

Hi Megan, Thank you for your help. Although the original question is unanswered it appears the best solution might be to create our own render. It appears there is no other simple solution to convert RTF into reports.
Many thanks,
