Hi all,
I'm looking for some insite on how to turn off redirection for PDF output for one report. All other PDF reports need the redirection but 1.
I know about IBIWF_redirect but this is a global setting. Can I reset this variable for a specific report? If so, where? Examples?

I've done some forum searching and documentation reading but to no avail...

TIA.

DHTML

Thanks, Tom.

I know I can get the look close to PDF using DHTML but there are differences.

The user would like PDF.

Any other ideas?

Thanks.

ON TABLE HOLD AS NOT_PDF FORMAT HTMTABLE or HTML or DHTML or Whatever
END
-RUN
SET HTMLFORMTYPE = PDF
-HTMLFORM BEGIN
!IBI.FIL.NOT_PDF;
-HTMLFORM END

Last Idea:

Have the user open ADOBE, EDIT, Preferences, Internet Options, Check Display PDF in Browser...

Just a silly thought.

Can you pass IBIWF_redirect as a parameter in the call, I have no idea, but perhaps it may be picked up.

Thanks Tom and Waz.

I tried passing IBIWF_redirect with no success.

Good idea but no joy.

Update: &IBIWF_redirect=NEVER works when added to the URL on the report request.

Following up on this great thread..

Setting IBIWF_redirect=NEVER gave me a PDF Error: 'file is corrupt'.

I researched this, and found IB Case 81632529 dated 13-June-2012, that recommended that IBIWF_redirect=LEN.

With the setting to LEN, there was no longer a redirection when drilling down to a PDF report, and I didn't encounter the PDF 'file is corrupt' error.

With the redirect variable setting, my WF Stylesheet drill down code looks something like this:

...
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
...
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=NAME, FOCEXEC=myfex(FILENAME=NAME APPPATHIN='&APPPATHIN' RAND='&RAND' IBIWF_redirect='LEN' ), $
ENDSTYLE
