Reports 9i PDF output to web 1

[gaas]

I am using Reports 9i. I have a Report Server on my Solaris machine and I run my reports from a web browser. Currently the reports are all written in Oracle JSP and display in my browser as a HTML page. Is it possible to display this same report as a PDF page?

In general the answer is YES, just pass DESFORMAT=PDF parameter. Though, you may have some problems with displaying non-English characters. In this case some manual tuning (uifont.ali) is needed. Regards, Dima

Thank you Dima,

One more question, if I may. Do I need to make a change to the DESTYPE? Currently it is set to SCREEN.

Sorry for the silly questions. I am a DBA that was thrust into writing a few reports and the last time I used reports it was still called SQL Reportwriter :-D

Try to set destype=cache. Regards, Dima
