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 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.
Our users input data using html editors (ckeditor and aspxhtmleidtor) which is saved in the database. Finally a huge report is generated displaying this html.
I tried xtrareport but they have limited html tag support so report does not look exactly the same as data was inputted by user.
Any recommendation or way around? Please help.
what about Crystal Report.

In Microsoft ReportViewer you can add a TextBox and right click on Text then select Create Placeholder and in placeholder you must sure markup type is HTML... selcted.
In Value of placeholder you must set:
Value='Html Tag'
finally i found no solution...as no reporting Solution provides full HTML tag support, as if they provide... they will end up creating a whole browser engine..
but in my case i found an easy way out....just displayed whole raw html data in html page and with the help of iframe and css i made it appear like a report, then i used ABCpdf to convert from html to pdf to give a nice downloadable pdf version ..
I want to show a PDF in browser, from which user can select text, showing pdf is very easy i have done this using "pdfviewer" control, now i want to get the selected text which the user selects in the PDF, is there any way to achieve this? i am using asp.net.
Edit: If there is a flash/ flex solution at the client end that will as well, does anyone know about it, i tried one API, but that dint seem to work
You can add a JavaScript PDF action to the page and have it post to an online form.
The PDF Viewer control from Winnovative doesn't offer any text selection APIs at all.
Acrobat's JavaScript engine doesn't either.
Sorry: No.
I need users to be able to enter text in a webform with some basic formatting options and then generate a report showing the formatted text.
The support for HTML is horrible and entering a simple bulletlist doesn't even show properly in the report.
Right now i'm using a textarea with tinyMCE but that's because i don't know what else to use.
Is there a known best-practice for showing formatted text in a Crystal Report?
Edit
I just need to show a report with a bunch of text and icons. Users need to be able to save it to PDF. I doesn't even have to be Crystal Reports but it's what i have been using and worked so far. Until i needed to show formatted text.
I wish for another solution that comes with a designer and let's me bind against a DataSet.
The solution is to convert the HTML to RTF. RTF support in CR is much better than it is for HTML. This way users can still use the tinyMCE editor and even paste Word formatted HTML.
The way i convert the HTML to RTF if using an XSL stylesheet. Basically you load the HTML as an XML document and let the XSL translate it to RTF. This way you also have a lot of freedom over the way your text will appear since you can tweak the XSL.
I used this article to achieve that, the article's attachment includes the .XSL.
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.
