Create PDF automatically

[Tomaž Lovrec]

Hi,

is it possible to create a PDF file from telerik reporting automatically, not export it. I want to create the PDF file with it and save it to the servers disk space, for later usage.

Thanks and best regards,
Thomas

Hi Peter,

what about the previous post? Is it possible?
I didn't find anything about saving report on the server disk space in silverlight applications.

Thanks

Hello Ambra,

It's possible to save the report on the server. You will need a WCF service with a SaveReport() method and within the button click event you have to call the service's SaverReport() method that will save the report on the server. Check out the attached sample solution.

All the best,

Hello Sameer,

Do you mean the link for Exporting a Report Programmatically article? There and in Exporting a report to PDF programmatically KB article, you can find approaches for exporting a report without displaying it in the viewer.

Hi Sameer,

You can use the suggested approach from Embedded Report Engine article. There is no difference using this the report processor in a .NET Core application or in application targetting the full .NET framework. However, in case of .NET Core applications, we recommend creating reports with the Standalone Report Designer and instead of typeReportSource, you need to use UriReportSource when the report definition is declarative, i.e. trdp or trdx file. The report source setting with parameters has to look like:

var uriReportSource = new Telerik.Reporting.UriReportSource();

// Specifying an URL or a file path
uriReportSource.Uri = "SampleReport.trdx";

// Adding the initial parameter values
uriReportSource.Parameters.Add(new Telerik.Reporting.Parameter("OrderNumber", "SO43659"));
