We have been using the standard BIRT Viewer installed under Tomcat for many years to launch BIRT reports from a web application.
We are considering replacing the standard BIRT Viewer with the BIRT Viewer Toolkit because it would provide enhanced functionality including a date picker UI.
Currently, we tweak jsp and js code distributed with the standard BIRT Viewer to change the default print format from HTML to PDF. We would like to make the corresponding changes in the BIRT Viewer Toolkit code, but I'm having difficulty finding the corresponding source code modules.
For example, in the past we have modified PrintReportDialogFragment.jsp in the webcontent/birt/pages/dialog folder. I have found IVServerPrintReportDialogFragment.jsp in the iv/pages/dialog folder, but I don't see any references to printAsPDF or printAsHTML. With the standard BIRT Viewer we also modified BirtPrintReportDialog.js in the webcontent/birt/ajax/ui/dialog folder, but I don't see any corresponding js file in the iv/dialog folder - only files named featurennnnn.js.
It appears by default the Interactive Viewer capability is turned off when the BIRT Viewer Toolkit is installed, and therefore the IVServerPrintReportDialogFragment.jsp would not be accessible.
Can we tweak code as desired in the BIRT Viewer Toolkit, and if so, can someone point me to the correct files in the correct folders for the BIRT Viewer Toolkit app installed under Tomcat?
Also, we would like to do some customization of the report name in the toolbar of the BIRT Viewer Toolkit and I haven't found that code yet either.

The BIRT Viewer Toolkit is closed source. It contains the commercial BIRT Viewer by Actuate along with the JavaScript API for easy embedding. What all customizations are you trying to do? Just edit the menu items?
Also, all open source style URLs will work with the BIRT Viewer Toolkit, they will be converted internally to the URL that the commercial viewer uses.
