You want to run the report in the web viewer and then have the option to export? One option could be to have a hyperlink next to the report listing however you present it to your users that says PDF or XLS and each link runs the report in the specified format with the viewer url parameter __format=pdf or format=xls.

Hi williams, 
 
the issue is not yet solved...i want only certain type of export available for certain design file in the webviewer.. 
 
eg: 
 
temp1.rptdesign needs excel and pdf export 
 
temp2.rptdesign needs ppt and word export 
 
how to get that in birt webviewer? 
 
below is what i have used in the framset

I'm not sure how to remove options for the export menu conditionally for certain reports. This could involve changing the code of the viewer. My suggestion was to create two labels at the top of your report. One that says Export to XLS and one that says Export to PDF. Then, create a hyperlink on the label that creates the URL to run the report in XLS or PDF. Obviously you'd only put the XLS label at the top of report that only needs XLS exporting. You can then remove the "export" button from the toolbar by commenting it out in the ToolbarFragment.jsp file, so you don't have conflicting options for export.

What if I want to remove an export format for all reports? I cannot find a way to do that without modifying the code...

Hi, 
 
I hope so you are asking for how to remove an particular export format(eg pdf,xls)from the export format dialog box.this can be done by modifying the viewer.properties file which is under \birtviewer\WEB-INF. 
suppose if you want to remove pdf format then go to viewer.properties file just remove or comment two lines 
 
# [EXTENSION SETTING] 
viewer.extension.pdf=pdf 
# [OUTPUT FORMAT LABEL NAME] 
viewer.label.pdf=PDF
