Issue to export report in PDF format

Post by MisterRom »

Hi,

I need some support to solve an issue of exporting report in PDF format.

I'm developing a web application, using Javascript, IIS (VBScript) and SQL Server.
The report part is working fine, for preview (using viewer) our direct printing (no displaying of viewer, directly go the printer).

I want to add a 3rd option, where user can directly export the report in PDF format without the need of displaying the viewver first, like the direct print.
I have used the sample provided, for some test, but no file is generated. After debuging, I can see that data are well passed to the saveAs method.
After some investigation on the net, it seems that it's coming from the web server. The solution i found was to change MIME type of the PDF file on IIS, from "application/pdf" to "application/octet-stream".
I did it on both IIS on source code, but nothing ... Still not working ...

This is a part of the code doing the export, after an AJAX call to query data on the SQL server (code is at 90% same as direct print which is working fine) :

Code: Select all


// Lancement du code d'appel AJAX à la fonction de recherche des infos
xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
	if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200)
	{
		// réception des données en provenance de la fonction select
		donnees = JSON.parse(this.responseText);

		// Lancement de l'export

		// sélection de la langue francaise
		Stimulsoft.Base.Localization.StiLocalization.setLocalizationFile("xml/reports_fr.xml", true);

		dataSet = new Stimulsoft.System.Data.DataSet(keep.vue);
		report = new Stimulsoft.Report.StiReport();

		dataSet.readJson(donnees);

		report.load(RenvoieEtat(num_report));

		report.dictionary.databases.clear();
		report.dictionary.dataSources.clear();

		report.regData(dataSet.dataSetName, dataSet.dataSetName, dataSet);
		report.dictionary.synchronize();

		report.renderAsync(function () {
			// export du rapport
			report.exportDocumentAsync(function (pdfData) {
				// Nom du fichier
				nom_fichier = report.reportAlias + ".pdf";
				// Enregistrement des données dans un fichier PDF
				Stimulsoft.System.StiObject.saveAs(pdfData, nom_fichier, "application/pdf");
			}, Stimulsoft.Report.StiExportFormat.Pdf);

		});

	}
}

URL = "framework/ajax/select_print.asp"
if (parametres!=="")
	URL = URL + "?" + parametres;
xmlhttp.open("GET", URL, true);
xmlhttp.send();


Thanks again for any support.
