exporting report content to a pdf without the birt viewer to render flash content

midani

<p>Hello: I am working in an environment where the BIRT Designer/IHub Server is in place. The full features of the BIRT viewer were not utilized for this POC (proof of concept). Is there a short-term workaround to export BIRT reports to a pdf file so that it renders flash content? If so, could you offer a solution? Also, if you have experience configuring the BIRT Viewer, could you share for development environments with an existing solution in place (for the front end), which need to develop a sound methodology to efficiently migrate to the BIRT Viewer solution for the exporting of .pdfs and other file formats. One last note, if the BIRT Viewer functionality displays a lot of information to the end user, we want to minimize that when they export the .pdf file format.</p>

<p>--Any help sincerely appreciated. Michele</p>

<p>Hi Midani!</p>

<p>I tested this on my end and was able to recreate it only if the PDF is displayed in a web browser.  Can you verify if you're viewing the PDF in a web browser or in a PDF reader?  It should work if you open the rendered PDF in Adobe.</p>

<p>As far as configuration of the WebViewer, what kind of configuration changes are you trying to make?  If you're wanting to create a custom toolbar or something like that then checkout this <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://developer.actuate.com/community/forum/index.php?/files/file/1095-hoto-custom-toolbar-for-interactive-viewer/'>devshare</a></p&gt;

<p>What do you mean by a lot of information to the end user?  One possible solution for this, if your information is in a table, is to group the table and provide drill through links.  This would allow them to open details of the report through the viewer later if they need to see the content.</p>
