Turning off certain export functions in Telerik Reporting

[Sasa]

Is it possible to have Adobe PDF as the only exporting format choice in the report viewer?

Hi Sasa,

You can configure the rendering extensions of the report viewer via the web.config file of your web site. For example, the following part of a web.config file can be used to hide all rendering extensions, except PDF:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<configuration>

<configSections>

<section name="Telerik.Reporting"

type="Telerik.Reporting.Processing.Config.ReportingConfigurationSection,                                                     Telerik.Reporting.Processing, Version=x.x.x.x,                                                     Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a9d7983dfcc261be"

allowLocation="true"

allowDefinition="Everywhere"/>

</configSections>

<Telerik.Reporting>

<Extensions>

<Render>

<Extension name="IMAGE" visible="false"/>

<Extension name="PDF" visible="true"/>

<Extension name="HTML" visible="false"/>

<Extension name="MHTML" visible="false"/>

<Extension name="XLS" visible="false"/>

<Extension name="CSV" visible="false"/>

<Extension name="RTF" visible="false"/>

</Render>

</Extensions>

</Telerik.Reporting>

<!-- The rest of the file is skipped to make it shorter... -->

</configuration>

You should replace the string 'x.x.x.x' with your version of the Telerik Reporting assemblies.

For further information about configuring the various rendering extensions you can refer to the following topics in the Telerik Reporting documentation:

• Rendering Extensions
