Save webi report as pdf programmatically

Does anyone has any SDK code sample or can point me to the location of code sample on how to save a webi report as PDF file programmatically? Also, is the ReportEngineSDK is sufficient for this task or I need some other SDK?
We are running XIr2 SP1 on Windows Server 2003, with Tomcat as web container.
Any help will be very much appreciated.

Hi,
I think Using ReportEngine SDK you would not be able to save the webi report in PDF format.However it could be possible if you schedule a webi report to PDF format to unmanaged disk.
You can refer the following tutorials given in developer library's BusinessObjects Enterprise SDKs. You can either use .NET or Java SDKs.
How to schedule a report to a destination (FTP, SMTP, Disk, Printer, Inbox)
How to schedule and view Web Intelligence documents
Here is the link for developer library:

Save the report in PDF format on the server: is it possible?

Hi all,
Is it possible to save the report in PDF format on the server?
In other words, in a web application:
1) the user requests a report
2) the report produced in PDF format, is saved on the server, where is the Java Reporting Component
3) the report, in PDF format, is sent to the client's user
Thanks a lot

PrintOutputController.export, get the byte stream, save on server.
Sincerely,

Save Web page into PDF in Windows 7 32 bit for Adobe 7

When security under Internet options in Internet Explorer runs with "Enable Protected Mode" checked, can not save web page into PDF. The version of Adobe is 7.
Nazir

Are you saying you cannot print to the Adobe PDF printer or what. You have to be more complete in your description since AA7 will not fully work in Win7. You will have to use workarounds, but knowing what steps you are using is important to giving any help. Just saying save does not help. Of course, you might be able to use the MS plugin for creating PDFs as an alternative if you only have AA7. One thing that you find with AA7 is that PDF Maker will likely not work and also the printer will have to be a print to file, followed with a use of Distiller to complete the PDF creation. The AA7 version of AcroTray that does a lot of the work in the background should not be expected to work with Win 7, thus the need for workarounds.

Is there an ipad app that let's u save web articles as PDFs?

Is there an ipad app that let's u save web articles as PDFs?

The screen capture is not a good solution because most articles are longer than the screen and require scrolling. I don't know of any way to do this at present. Some web articles have a "print" option which optimizes the article's format for printing, at which point instead of printing, you can opt to save the article as a pdf. But for now, this is only doable on a desktop. Perhaps if printing becomes available for the iPad, this might work.

Error "Session Timed Out" When saving webi report as PDF

Hi,
I am getting below error when saving report as PDF
The Session Timed Out.The document *.wid has been auto saved in the Favorites~WebIntelligence Folder..Click Restore to retrieve it.
(ERROR : WIJ600001).
I get above error in PROD but works fine in DEV.
Version : BOE 3.1 SP7 (DEV & PROD).
Session Time out set as one hour.
Report runs for 3 minutes .once I get the data if I try to save it as PDF immediately I get the above mentioned Error.

The default Webi auto-save is every 600 seconds, which is 10 minutes. You could increase it to 3600 seconds (1 hour) in CMC -> Applications > Web Intelligence > Properties > Auto-save Settings on "Auto-save time delay".
See KB 1297132 - Error: WIJ 60001 after the Web Intelligence Java Report Panel is left inactive some time on http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1297132.
Hope this helps,

Save SSRS Report as pdf using Reporting Services

I've been trying to convert a SSRS Report to PDF and save to
my local drive using the Reporting Web Services. Though I'm able to
generate the corresponding pdf file but the contents of the file are
missing. I've checked that the report I'm trying to convert is not an
empty one. Only the header section is present there within the generated
pdf files. Below is the code I'm using:
protected void GeneratePDFFromReport(object sender, EventArgs e)
RS2005.ReportingService2005 rs;
RE2005.ReportExecutionService rsExec;
// Create a new proxy to the web service
rs = new RS2005.ReportingService2005();

How to save webi report created using InfoView into my local PC

Hi Experts,
I am creating a Web Intelligence document using infoview and once the report is ready, i want to save it in my local PC for later refresh. How can i save that using Infoview ? I don't want to save the report in the server(repository).
Regards,
Suresh

After saving WebI reports to Local PC also, one can't see them COZ of .wid extension, to view them again we need WebI installed.
You can Save them to Excel or PDF or CSV to your local PC and Schedule them to get latest data as well.
Thank You!!

I use iMac desktop. I can't save web pages as PDF file by using Firefox, but by Safari is fine.

I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.4. Today, I tried to save my email content as a PDF file. However, I only got a PDF file that have partial content of email. Then I adjust the printer setting and did it again, then I only got a blank PDF file. There was nothing inside. Then I tried to save email as a PDF file by using Safari browser. And I got a complete and sucessful PDF file. I usually save web pages or web mail, online receipt as PDF file by use Firefox. But since I have updated to the new version, there were many problems with my Firefox. I tried to restore all my application and made Firefox in the old 3.6.3 version which I used to have no problem. But now still not working.

I solved it for myself: it was my HP smart-web printer crap that was a plug in and add on for firefox that somehow automatically got installed when I upgraded to 5. I disabled both in the add-ons manager, and voila, printing is working.
It seems there are many things, like this and the Google toolbar, that were screwed by the oddly fast update to 5. Looks like Mozilla didn't give anybody any notice! Must've been some really bad security hole.

Save SSRS Report as .PDF in Client Machine

Hi,
I am working on a SharePoint 2010 Visual WebPart, the saves a SSRS report as pdf on a button click. The code is mentioned below:
HttpWebRequest Req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(URL);
Req.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
Req.PreAuthenticate = true;
Req.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
HttpWebResponse objResponse = (HttpWebResponse)Req.GetResponse();
Req.Method = "GET";
//Specify the path for saving.
string path = @"C:\test\" + quoteID + @".pdf";
FileStream fs = new FileStream(path, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);
Stream stream = objResponse.GetResponseStream();
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int len = stream.Read(buf, 0, 1024);
while (len > 0)
fs.Write(buf, 0, len);
len = stream.Read(buf, 0, 1024);
fs.Close();
stream.Close();
The code works great, however, when the user clicks the button the file is getting saved directly in the main server when the WebPart is deployed. So, now I want the user to be able to select the location in there system to save the file. How
to enable the "Open save file dialog" and let the user select the location. can someone help me with this ?
thanks.
Regards, Vikram

You can use below snippet.
string strURL=path;
  WebClient req=new WebClient();
  HttpResponse response = HttpContext.Current.Response;
  response.Clear();
  response.ClearContent();
  response.ClearHeaders();
  response.Buffer= true;
  response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=\"" + Server.MapPath(strURL) + "\"");
  byte[] data=req.DownloadData(Server.MapPath(strURL));
  response.BinaryWrite(data);
  response.End();
