I am building a label report that requires the user to input a Bulk Order Number that will generate multiple labels. When viewed in preview mode and on the report server, images on the report for postage and company logo appear on every instance of a label (report page).

However when exported to PDF, these images only render on the first label (page)

I considered this may not be an issue, as the user could print from the report server when accessing the report. This isn't the case, as when trying to print, report server creates a PDF for you to print from. There are no other options regarding printing other than page size and orientation, a PDF seems to be the only method from which you can print from.

The images I use have the visibility controlled by parameters, so you can select 1st or 2nd class postage, and choose to have the logo visible.

Each image also has the RepeatWith property set to the Tablix that contains order and address details.

When exported to word, the labels all appear as desired with postage and/or logo images on each instance. This is a step I would like to avoid, as it would be much nicer to have the user print directly from the report server, even if this still requires a printer friendly PDF to be created.

I have attached am image to show PDF output.

Any ideas how I can get these images to render on each label (page)?

Can you please add a screenshot of the design view of your report? - iamdave
@iamdave What would you like to know from the design page? Pretty simple layout, tablix, overlapping images for postage, and a logo image. - R_Avery_17
There are many subtleties within SSRS that are not easily explained. Seeing is vastly preferable. - iamdave
What region are the images in? Meaning header, body, etc? - SS_DBA
@WEI_DBA all images in report body. No headers or footers on the page - R_Avery_17

Based on the design view image you posted, it looks like the only thing repeating is your tablix containing the address information. The SSRS RepeatWith property doesn't seem to work well with .pdf exports so the workaround for this would be to drop everything into a single cell on a list object and grouping using the Order_No to repeat everything. This should remove the need to mess with RepeatWith and give you the desired results.
