Hi there,

Is is possible to send back to the viewer a report in PDF format? I want to give user an option to send pdf to one of our services without having to click export or save in the viewer?

I see we can do:
But instead of storing it in a folder I want to be able to store it in a variable and then either send it to the front end or have a method in the backend that can upload that pdf somewhere else.

Thanks,

Hello,

It is not possible to open PDF in the viewer. But you can export the report to PDF in your code and then open it where you need.

Thank you.

Thanks Lech for your quick response. I want to export the report to PDF with code and then and save the PDF file in a variable? I want to later upload that pdf file to different service.

Thanks,

Hello,

You can use ExportDocument method and save PDF in the necessary object.

Thank you.

Can you share an example on how to do it? Based on the ExportDocument method and examples I can only see how to store it in the path pass as argument.

Hello,

You can use Stream in the ExportDocument method.

Thank you.
