ReportViewer failed on IE and Firefox 64bits

[Rome Marti]

Hello,

I have implemented a ReportViewer in a page but I have issues to make the "PrintReport function" works properly on IE9 and Firefox.
I load the component with a ReportBook who can contains severals pdf files.
Then the component call : printReport(); (the component is hidden, it is just used to print the report)

<td style="display: none">

<telerik:ReportViewer ID="ReportViewer1" runat="server" Height="0px" Width="0px"

Visible="True">

</telerik:ReportViewer>

<script type="text/javascript">

<%=ReportViewer1.ClientID %>.PrintReport();

</script>

</td>

In this case, the brower ask me just to download the file ReportBook.pdf (containing the pdfs...) instead of showing me the Print screen.
The issue appear on the IE9 64bits edition, but It s working properly on IE9 32 bits...
What could explain the difference of behavior of the component when I used à 64 bits version of a browser over a 32 bits ?
I am using Telerik Reporting Q1 2012 (v 6.0.12.215).

Thanks for your insight !

Regards,

[Elian]

Hello Rome,

Our printing functionality depends on the Adobe PDF Reader browser add-on. If it cannot be found (which is the case with the IE 64bit), then the viewer falls back  to saving the document as a PDF.

Hi,
My question is different. I am new to Telerik report. I have my report viewer in my aspx page. The CSS has been messed up in IE 7.0. But, its working fine in Firefox, Chrome, Opera. Appreciate your help..

This sounds like some style collision. Try removing / renaming the styles that affect the webpage and see if anything changes. Also if you remove the viewer does the page look correct?

[Steve]

Thank you for the response...I have tried that by commenting all the in-line styles and just having the controls along with the report viewer, but it didn't worked. Just to test, I have commented the telerik report viewer as well and everything is good in all the browsers. Now, I have un-commented the telerik report viewer and the styles are messed up only in IE 7.0,8.0. It's well aligned in the other browsers like Opera, Firefox, Chrome etc...... Couldn't figure it out........

[Hadib Ahmabi]

Is there any difference when the viewer is visible?

Why are you using the viewer anyway?
Just use the ReportProcessor to export the reports programmatically on button click.
