The workaround is to use a parameter that control the hidden properties and image/value properties of the header contents and background image path respectively. We need to place the header contents to a textbox or a rectangle so that the "hidden"
properties can be set or reset. Similarly for the image path or value properties of body section can be set or reset using expression. I am using external image URL. Refer below step.
1. Add a parameter "Export". Set the Available values
as "Specify values" and add the below labels and values.
Label                                 Value
Header/Image                    Header/Image
No Header/Image               No Header/Image
For Default Values,
Select Specify values option and add value as "Header/Image". Click Ok to close the parameter properties.
2. As my header section contains a textbox and wanted to hide while i export, select the textbox properties and set the visibility/hidden expression as, =IIF(Parameters!Export.Value <> "Header/Image", True, False)
3. Similarly in the report body properties, select the image source option as "External" and set the expression as,
=IIF(Parameters!Export.Value <> "Header/Image", "" , "http://localhost/Testing/NEW_06.jpg")
4. Preview the report and select the export parameter option as "No Header/Image".
