allowPrintToPdf

Hi.

I just updated to the 2012.1 build, and I immediately found that the "allowPrintAsHtml" option had been named to "allowPrintToHtml". (for search reference, incase this trips up anybody else)....

However, at the same time, I discovered "allowPrintAsPdf". Upon enabling this option, I tested, but in the print dialog I still have only 2 Print As types... Default, and Print To HTML...I'd expected a third option about PDF in there.

Can you explain how this feature is supposed to work?

Thanks

Yes, this option was renamed to eliminate differences in the names. Sorry for the little inconvenience.

The Print as PDF will not work because of limitations of the Reports.Fx product. It is for Reports Web product because it's disabled by default.

Thank you.
