Possible to render direct to PDF instead of viewing the report on a webpage?

Is it possible to to render direct to PDF when viewing the report url?

Hello,

Try adding the part in red to your URL:

http://ServerName/Reportserver/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fReportPath%2fReportName&rs:Command=Render&rs:Format=PDF

Hope this helps.

Jarret is right, however it is better not to render from http://servername/reportserver/?/ReportPath/ReportName&rs:Format=PDF

The server will automatically redirect you to the ./Pages/Report.aspx part, but that is really an implementation detail and could change in the future.

Hi

I′ve tested to do it like this and it works if parameters needed for the report are passed in the the url-string.

The problem is if you would like the user to write in a parameter (eg. orderno) to the report, this solution won′t work.

It seems like it have to go through the standard way, via the HTML-page if orderno needs to be set.

Any Ideas how to solve this?

private void CreatePDF()

{

try

{

Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.Warning[] warn;

string[] streamids;

string mimeType = "application/pdf";

string encoding = string.Empty;

string extension = string.Empty;

byte[] byteViewer;

byteViewer = ReportViewerMain.ServerReport.Render("PDF", null, out mimeType, out encoding, out extension, out streamids, out warn);

Response.Buffer = true;

Response.Clear();

Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";

Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "inline; filename=myReport.pdf");

Response.BinaryWrite(byteViewer);

Response.Flush();

Response.End();

streamids = null;

byteViewer = null;

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

ExceptionManager.Sys(ex);

}

}
