Reduce Export Options

[JK]

Hi,

Can you reduce the export options?  I.e. I only wnat PDF on the dropdownlist, thus removing/hiding the other options of "Tiff", "Rich Text","excel" etc..

Updated : From what I have found it appears that you can configure this on the webconfig, but this restricts all reports, can this not be done on the reportviewer itself?

thanks,

JK

Hello JK,

Yes, you are able to hide one or more extensions from the viewers using the Telerik Reporting configuration. It is done in the configuration file of the application. The settings are applied to all report viewers in your application, and this is by design.

You can find more information in the help article Configuring Telerik Reporting.

If you need to allow different export formats in different situations and want to deny all other formats, what you can do is hide the export button on the report viewer and to provide your custom interface (button for example) and to export the report to the desired format programmatically.

You may find useful the following KB article: Saving a report into PDF format programmatically.

Hi,

refering to your second point (export programatically) I appreciate that you have to use the following declarations:

using

System.IO;

using

Telerik.Reporting.Processing;

but the part I am stuck on is it errors on the Encoding command, what else do I need to add to the classes?

also, when the  "SaveReport" function is working, as the report in question is already being displayed in the reportviewer (same page), how do I refer to the report currently being displayed in the reportviewer rather than calling a new version of the report?

thanks,

Hi JK,

The purpose of the out parameter encoding is to give you the Encoding used in the return array of bytes, in case you need it. So you do not have to instantiate the encoding parameter before passing it to the render method or do any extra work with it. Just declare a variable encoding and pass it.

About the second question. Yes, you can use the instance of the report already in use of the report viewer. Use:

SaveReport(this.reportViewer1.Report, @"C:\MyReport.pdf");

I hope this information helps.

hi,

i have the problem, that my reports should offer different export types.. so i would need an option to change the export types per report, not for all...

will there be an option in further future releases?

Hello Basti,

Yes, we have this functionality logged in our features list and would consider including it in subsequent version of the product. Once we do, it would be listed in the Telerik Reporting RoadMap.

Hello Phisca,

You will need to hide the IMAGE rendering extension to remove the Tiff export option. The full list of available rendering formats is available in the Rendering Extensions article.


I hope the above information helps you.
