Download PDF

Hi,

I am a BIRT beginner. I need to generate the report in pdf format and save it instead of viewing it in birt web viewer, any idea on where to start?

Thanks.

Sankari,

it all depends on what you want your application to do.

Do you want to run and render the report in one step or run the report then render it (this might be useful if you, say, want to display your report in HTML in a web browser, but also want to allow the user to save the report as a PDF document)?

Also, do you use the BIRTWebViewer? If this is the case, I believe the export to PDF functionality is already available.
