PDF in iPortal?

The report rendering options are different for iPortal/iServer Express. For example, in iServer Express you can create a PDF with the report, but in iPortal this option is not available.

Is it possible to make this available so that end users can render in PDF?

Thanks,
Scott

Scott,
When you schedule a job in iPortal, in the 'Save As' tab you can see the different rendering options. Let me know if I misunderstood your question.

Chezy,

i have a question ?

i am opening a report in pdf format using a custom jsp (do_execRep_PDF).

its a sync request, now i simultaneously want to save a copy of the report as pdf in the server.

is it possible, if so what output parameters do i need to submit along with the url?

regards,
logan

Passing __saveOutput=true in the URL will cause an rptdocument to be saved. You can control where it is saved via __outputName. You should also be using the invokeSubmit=true to avoid having to click submit on the job.

Thank you so much Rob,

I am able to save a copy of the report as roi in a folder in server, when i try to save it as pdf by specifying the output type as pdf, the report is getting saved but i am getting the following error..

<Files does not begin with '%PDF-'>

regards,
Logan

The output will be saved as a rptdocument (roi if you are using e.Reports, not BIRT). You could always send web services requests to generate and store the report as a PDF.
