The true printing functionality of the Web Report Viewer and
Silverlight Report Viewer depends on the
Adobe PDF
(or Chrome PDF plug-in for Chrome browser). If Adobe or Chrome PDF plug-in is not detected, clicking the print button would export the report to PDF and depending on the browser would either open it directly or ask you to save the PDF file.
If you want to use the true print, the following requirements must be satisfied:
- Javascript should be enabled in your browser.
- The Adobe PDF or Chrome PDF plug-in should be enabled in your browser. Disable any other print related plug-ins such as Foxit.
- (Silverlight viewer only) UseNativePrinting
property should be false. Telerik Reporting WCF Service should be properly configured e.g. resource endpoint should be present.
See Hosting WCF Service in IIS
- (Internet Explorer only) Print menu
in IE group policy should be enabled.
- (Internet Explorer only) ActiveX Filtering should be disabled.
