I use the devexpress tool for reporting. In my Asp project, reports are opening slowly and I am looking for a solution until I find out why. Is it possible to download the report page in PDF format without opening it?
There is a DevExpress Support Center example demonstrating how to print an XtraReport without showing the preview.
For DevExpress products, the Support Center is usually the best place to look first.

i have the next problem. I don't have Adobe Reader in my local machine and i have some Webform that show pdf files in fact i can't see this pdf files for it i need to find some way to open this files using the Adobe Reader from the server. Is that posssible? Somebody could show me how do this? Thanks
It isn't possible to use Adobe Reader to display a PDF to another machine through a web page. If this is just for local testing, try using Chrome or Firefox if you can. These have their own PDF readers separate from Adobe.
If you are trying to actually display the content as a non-PDF format, you may want to look into something that will parse the file into HTML. Mozilla's "pdf.js" is a good example, and might be of use to you. However, I don't think this is necessary. Nearly all users can view PDF files.
Have a look at PDF Js which can render a PDF in a web viewer.
I am trying to use Crystal Reports in generating my report for my ASP.NET website. Unfortunately, it appears like this. It appears properly when exported to other extensions. I have tried tinkering with every thing but it won't display as it is supposed to be. Can anyone settle this one? Thanks very much!!

I use webforms.reportviewer.
I have already read many blog and article about report pagination and interactive page size.
My purpose is a similar to winforms.reportviewer's printlayout display mode.
But I did not find any solution about it.
I checked telerik's reportviewer control, and they can solve this issue.
But I couldn't figure out how...
Somebody any idea? Unfortunately I could't figure out, how it works..
Rendering your report as a PDF to the screen should give you what you want.
It will show your users what will get printed. There is not interactivity with this report.
You can do this using Url access parameters and rs commands
Format is like:
http://ReportServer/<Report_Name>&rs:Format=PDF
I have a report that is created using Telerik Reporing 2010.
You have the ability to export to PDF.
One of the cells contains a standard hyperlink that when viewed from the report view works fine
The cell contains this simple link
<a href=”http://site.com”>link</a>
What I would like to be able to do is maintain the hyperlink functionality when the report is rendered to PDF.
Im assuming PDF requires something more than just HTML to render a link ?
Any help is most appreciated
Thanks

Hyperlinks in PDF Telerik Reports are not currently supported. See this forum thread on the Telerik site for more information.
There isn't anything that you can do to fix this. When the PDF report is generated Telerik need to implement a feature that converts your HTML hyperlink into a hotspot annotation in the PDF.
I am using a Crystal Report on my website to dynamically build a PDF file for download. This is working great. However, now I want to add an image to the report. When I go to Insert - Picture, browse to my image file, and click OK nothing happens, which leads me to believe that I'm adding it incorrectly. How can I do this? Also, does the image need to exist on my web server or is it imbedded in the report?
So you're adding the picture to the report through the Crystal Reports designer?
Possibly the picture is in an unsupported format? Try saving it into another format and add it again, might just work!
As far as I'm aware, the image will be embedded into the report.
