Yes, see the JasperServer User Guide section 3.1.2.

thanks for your reply.

i know how to do that. But I want to get the pdf without clicking on an export icon. can i send a parameter in the URL so the pdf appears automatically?

Thanks in advance...

"output": (optional) specifies the desired report output format. If it is not present or html is used as value for the parameter, the default JasperServer report viewer is used as output. Other values for this parameter are given by the report exporters configured in JasperServer. By default, JasperServer recognizes the following output types: pdf for PDF, xls for Excel, rtf for RTF, csv for CSV and swf for the JasperServer Flash report viewer.

Where can I get the this "JasperServer User Guide"? I use the JasperServer Pro Evaluation and in its User Guide there is nothing about running a report through direct URL.

This is in the JasperServer Community Edition package (which you can download here at JasperForge.org).

I don't know about the contents of the Professional Evaluation packages, it might be better to contact Jaspersoft's support service for queries on that.
