A quick question were did you edit the viewer.properties? 
 
Did you do that in your Eclipse BIRT dir\plugins\org.eclipse.birt.report.viewer_x.x.x.x_v20110214\birt\WEB-INF 
 
(relace teh x with your version?)

Hi, 
No. I edited it in the .../birt-runtime-2_6_2/WebViewerExample/WEB-INF 
I am deploying this on tomcat do I have to change the viewer.properties that you mentioned me ? 
I think this will only effect in the eclipse

You need to make sure that its also disaibled in the JAR that you deploy in your WAR. thats all

hence me pointing that out that you should check that plugin in in general the one your deploying.

could you please tell me what is the JAR you are referring to. I copied the WEB-INF,webcontent folders from the WebViewerExample to my project in that I couldn't find the plugin that you mentioned me earlier. 
 
there is a string array called 'supportedFormats' inside the /webcontent/birt/pages/dialog/ExportReportDialogFragment.jsp file. If i could control the array i may be disable the other formats other than pdf 
am i wrong ? 
need your help

Im not sure what you war file your using as designed. But the most of the Eclipse Webased products work with an OSGI container. But I can be wrong with Birt. I havent been that deep in it and we use the iServer here. But you could in deed edit the JSP page directly it certanly would fix the problem.

How is the 'supportedFormats' array is initialized 
from where it gets the supported formats, i earlier thought it is loading from the viewer.properties file but it is not correct 
 
what i am missing ? how to disable the other formats?

abhijitKol

I already tried after commenting the pdf option from viewer.properties. 
# [EXTENSION SETTING] 
# [OUTPUT FORMAT LABEL NAME] 
 
But it is not working.Still the pdf option is coming. 
After changing the viewer.properties file,I have made a war file and deployed it in the Jboss.I am using eclipse.Am I missing something?? 
 
Thanks

I'll attach my viewer.properties 
i need only pdf but Abhijit doesn't want pdf (I guess Abhijit's viewer.properties may be other way, commented only pdf) 
 
I didn't comment the HTML because 'if ( !ParameterAccessor.PARAM_FORMAT_HTML.equalsIgnoreCase( supportedFormats ) )' line in /webcontent/birt/pages/dialog/ExportReportDialogFragment.jsp checking for html (may be i am totally wrong) 
even i commented html i am getting all formats 
 
note:i have renamed to .txt i couldn't upload the .properties extension

mcremer

With the outer most container (grid or table for example) of the report selected, from the properties view Visibility sub-tab, check off all the boxes to hide execpt for pdf.

thanks for your response, i check off all the boxes except pdf and html(as i am viewing in the web) but i still could able to generate the other format reports. it'll be better if i can remove the other formats form the export report dialog

Hi, 
I got a solution i can simply edit the 'supportedFormats' array like 
String[] supportedFormats = {"pdf"}; 
this does what I need. 
 
i think the viewer.properties only modify the drop down box (i.e if the supported format is xls the viewer.properties has both the xls and Excel, so we are getting the Label as Excel) correct me if i am wrong

Go into your platform/plugins folder in your Tomcat installation (in my case, this is located at C:\Tomcat_5.5\apache-tomcat-5.5.34\webapps\WebViewerExample\WEB-INF\platform\plugins), and remove the following files:

org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.wpml_XXXXXXXXXX.jar
org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.wpml.config_XXXXXXXXXX.jar
org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.prototype.excel_XXXXXXXXXX.jar
org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.ppt_XXXXXXXXXX.jar
org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.ppt.config_XXXXXXXXXX.jar
org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.postscript_XXXXXXXXXX.jar
org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.postscript.config_XXXXXXXXXX.jar
org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.excel.config_XXXXXXXXXX.jar

where XXXXXXXXXX is the version stamp on the files. Once you remove these files, OSGi (or the plugin manager in the 3.7 web viewer) won't load the plugins, so they will not display in the list. The viewer.properties file is just a properties file, all it does is check the label based on the plugins ID, and if it can't find it in the properties file, it will use the default name from the manifest.

If you would like to hide export option on BIRT 3.7 and print to html or pdf only, you have to edit "C:\apache-tomcat-7.0.26\webapps\WebViewerExample\webcontent\birt\pages\control\ToolbarFragment.jsp".

You have to comment this line.
