run report by url displays html but not pdf

[brunofreschi]

I am new to Jasper Report Server and try to achieve to call a report that returns a PDF with the following unsuccessfully:

http://localhost:8080/jasperserver/flow.html?_flowId=viewReportFlow&reportUnit=/reports/forms/Test&ParentFolderUri=/reports/forms&output=pdf&j_username=jasperadmin&j_password=jasperadmin&idarg=1

Internet Explorer gives the following Error: The page cannot be displayed

with output=html or csv this works fine, but not with any other output formats including pdf. I also checked the tomcat log files but there are no erros reported. If I run the report in the report server gui and click on the PDF icon, the same report displays fine (seems to be a javascript function with that icon).

Thank you for any help with this! I am using Jasper Server version 3.1 (just downloaded at beginning of the week).

I am having the same problem as well... 

This works:

http://web:9080/jasperserver/flow.html?_flowId=viewReportFlow&reportUnit=/reports/test&standAlone=true&ParentFolderUri=/reports

 

 This does not

http://web:9080/jasperserver/flow.html?_flowId=viewReportFlow&reportUnit=/reports/test&standAlone=true&ParentFolderUri=/reports&output=pdf

 

i can do output=csv  just no pdf.  

I suspect that it is not passing the mime info to the browser correctly to reder the output, but im just not sure.

Hi,

 

I am not sure this will fix it or not but have the acrobat reader 9 installed and check it out..

Hi,

    I'am using Firefox, JasperServer Pro 3.1.0.1 professional and Adobe 8.

    It is working fine, on passing the output=pdf parameter.

Hi all

After some trial and error I figured out, that this is an issue with Internet Explorer. With Firefox this works without problems, but with Internet Explorer you only can call the url with output set to pdf if the link is embedded in the webpage. As soon as the link is in the webpage it works and if you use the same link to enter it manually in the address are, well then the link does not work. I just embedd the link in webpages and the calls work (I am using Tibco GI).

Kind Regards

Bruno

It says to try adding decorate=no to your URL.
