How to download, not generate the PDF report?

(First of all many thanks to previous answer, which provided me a lot of helping. :wub: :wub: :wub: )<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
Currently I am able to generate the PDF format report with HTML render option in the servlet.<br />
<br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>
...

HTMLRenderOption options = new HTMLRenderOption();

options.setOutputFormat(HTMLRenderOption.OUTPUT_FORMAT_PDF);

...</pre>
<br />
Now in my system, user is able to see the the html pdf report.<br />
<br />
But how to generate a PDF report for user to Download it?<br />
<br />
The scenario is like :<br />
<br />
<br />
<em class='bbc'><span style='font-size: 12px;'>1. User click the link(<a href/>) from the web page, which triggers a servlet.<br />
<br />
2. On the same page, there popluates a message "xxxx.PDF, open/save/cancel".<br />
<br />
3. User click the "Save" button, and the pdf will be saved to user's local PC.<br />
<br />
</span></em><br />
<br />
<br />
I guess that I should not use the HTML render option, could someone tell me which API shall I call to complete this scenario?<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks again,<br />
<br />

I have completed this scenario and thanks to some old posts.<br />
<br />
The code I am using is :<br />
<br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>
// create task to run
IRunAndRenderTask task = birtReportEngine.createRunAndRenderTask(design);

// check parameters
task.validateParameters();

// set output options
EXCELRenderOption options = new EXCELRenderOption();
options.setOutputFormat("xls");
options.setOutputFileName("report\example.xls");

task.setRenderOption(options);

task.run();
task.close();

</pre>
