That is the viewer. You could write some script in the report that
would save the report to the server in a different format while the user
is viewing it in HTML. Is that what you want?

I am attaching an example of a report that creates a pdf for every row
in a detail table. Look at the table row oncreate to get an idea on how
to call the api from script. In your case you can put the script in the
afterFactory of the report.

Thx Jason for keep replying my question.
i already test the example u gave me. it generate pdf successfuly.
but i did not succeed implement the script in my report.
i try to describe the example u gave, sorry if i was wrong.
in the report it seeems we have to report "burstpdf" and "burstDetail".
when we called the "burstpdf" report then we generate the "burstDetail" report to pdf into "c:temp".
how about if i want to generate the burstpdf only?
i try to put this script in the afterFactory Events in report design
importPackage(Packages.org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api);
var re = reportContext.getReportRunnable().getReportEngine();
var des = re.openReportDesign("C:/Testing/ABC.rptdesign"); //--> Let's say i have ABC.rptdesign
var ntask = re.createRunAndRenderTask(des);
var options = new PDFRenderOption();
var outputfile = "c:/temp/test1.pdf";
options.setOutputFileName(outputfile);
options.setOutputFormat("pdf");
ntask.setRenderOption(options);
ntask.run();
ntask.close();
the viewer become not responding. but when i comment the
//ntask.run();
//ntask.close();
The report run successfuly but the pdf is still not created.
can u help me in which script i must change?
Thx Again

It does not matter if you do it in the beforeFactory or afterFactory.
The reason it is taking longer without the parameter is it is trying to
run the report a bunch of times. Every time you call the report it will
create the pdf which is circular logic.
