Two URL Reporting questions 1

[pelajhia]

Is there a way to have a report at least appear to go straight to acrobat, rather than have the viewer pop up and then have to select export, etc.?

Also, is there a way to keep the same report id if I have to change a report and reimport it to CE?

Thanks !!

Hi,
As to your second question: No, if you remove it from the system and then republish it, it will get a new number..
You can, however, open it directly from its enterprise folder ( In CR Pro, File..Open..From Enterprise Folder option, you will need to log into the APS )..
You can then change anything in the report and click the save button - it will be saved back to that folder with the same number - Be aware, however, that any default password for your datasource that you may have set will be cleared and will need to be reset in the CMC.

Your first question ( direct Export to PDF, from URL), is probably covered in the
ce8_urlcommands.pdf
documment available at Crystal Decisions support site.

enjoy,
