Display option along with PDF print
Hi,
Is it possible to add a "display" option in reports so that every time a PDF does not get downloaded.
its a good option when we just have to have a look at the reports.
Thanks

RE: Display option along with PDF print
Hi, newuser990.
Why not try to build a 3rd party PDF viewer to help with the "PDF displaying"? I suggest you select some professional PDF Toolkits whose way of processing is simple and fast to help you. It can be much more convenient. Google it and select one to have a try. I hope you success. Good luck.
Best regards,
Arron

RE: Display option along with PDF print
Dear Arron,
I have a PDF viewer. I meant to say that instead of always downloading a PDF, some places it is best if it just displays on screen. Like when I just have to have a glance some category of stock, then in the "inventory Quantities" it should allow me to just view on screen rather than download a pdf and then open it.

I think Tim's suggestion is good.
Or may be it can open the HTML view in a separate Tab of the browser if the Header & Footer is too much to incorporate.
I think it will be a really usefull option for a lot of users.

RE: Display option along with PDF print
Well using this technique we would use the same code for displaying on the screen as printing to paper, or outputting to pdf. This will make the code easier to change for people who want to amend reports, and make the generation of reports quicker to do. Seemed good to me :-) It xsimplifies the code, makes it more readable, and makes it faster. What could be better?

Dear Tim,
I tried making the changes that you mentioned but could not get it to work.
It still downloads a PDF.
