Hi
I would like to know if it is possible for me to hide the print button when a person views a report.
As i have been having issues with the browser/print functionality i would like to hide the print button and just allow them to export to CSV and PDF is this possible?

Hi ,
If the viewer relies on the True print functionality, there might be issues in browsers as Firefox where the PDF plugin cannot be detected due to changes in the browser as of Firefox19. Also the PDF plugin may not be installed and set correctly, which will prevent the print operation.
Depending on the used viewer there must be a property of the viewer e g. ShowPrintButton, or a control/element in the viewer's template file allowing you to show/hide the button. If you use the Silverlight ReportViewer, you can set it to use its native printing (UseNativePrinting=true).
You can also inject Javascript in the exported PDF files to force a Print Dialog to appear on opening the PDF.
I hope the above information helps you.
