export to PDF (reporting services)

Greetings!,

Does anyone here know where to configure the document properties/security settings of PDF files generated by reporting services?

thanks!

What are you wanting to achieve - specific settings?|||

I want to make the PDF not printable, not modifiable, set passwords...etc..

These properties are found under the Document Security tab under the File menu in Acrobat reader (if you open the exported PDF report).

|||The PDF export format from Reporting Services is not configurable for document security. Those features are part of the Adobe software.|||

Thanks Brad.

Any suggestions on other 3rd party components where I can do export to PDF (asp/htm to pdf) programatically?

Hi,

ABCpdf from WebSuperGoo will allow you to do what you want. One word of caution they currently don't have a 64 bit version of their component.

In addition to Brian, you have to keep in mind that even the features of PDFing your reports is limited and can′t be compared to the original product as their are relying on some older engine (Guess it was 4.0).

Hi Sanjay,

Thanks. What dou you mean about the 64 bit version? What would be the probable repercussions?

Hi,

Just that if you are planning to deploy an application using that component to a 64 bit server, it won't work. The ABCpdf component has to run in a 32 bit process. You can set IIS to run in 32 bit mode but that is a server wide setting. They are currently developing a 64 bit version but I haven't got a release date.

Hi,

Does someone know if there is a.dll or patches (that I can register in my server) that Adobe released in order to toggle the default Document Security properties?

thanks
