URL parameter to automatically save report

I am trying to save a PDF report automatically using a URL. I have added the __format=PDF, and __document=report.pdf parameters in the URL string.

When I execute the URL, it prompts where to save the file and does not automatically save the file.

I am assuming that it is ignoring the __document parameter, since I must be using it improperly.

Any ideas on how to save the report without prompting?

The post you gave is an example using Java code to automatically save the file. I am looking for a way to save the report automatically, just from the URL without prompting the user.
