detecting renderer .

basically i only want a document map when rendering to PDF
however if there are any labels, then the HTML will show the
documentmap, SO
i want to write expressions for hte grouping labels that show nothing
unless it is rendering to PDF, but how do you detect the renderer from
expression code?
KarlIt is not possible to detect the renderer from an expression inside the
report.
Just consider the cases where a report is rendered from an execution or a
history snapshot. In both cases the report does not get reprocessed, but
just rendered from the snapshot. Snapshots contain the processed report
items in an output format independent format. Hence, during executing
expressions the renderer can't be determined.
There are some ways to achieve what you want, but they all involve
additional work (e.g. write your own application which requests different
reports depending on output format)

Desperate Newbie - Charts

I have a chart rendering problem. Sometimes the chart renders in the browser,
sometimes it does not. Even when it doesnâ't, it exports successfully to pdf,
etc. And it renders fine in VS.
I have tried a number of things and so far have succeeded only in reversing
the instances where the charts do and do not show. Iâ've searched newsgroups,
googled, and read, and finally found what looked like a link to a possible
solution only to find the service at that link temporarily unavailable. And
my boss wants to release my reports and charts by the end of the day!
Is there something I can do to get my reports to always render for the user?

Thanks,
CGWI saw your earlier post too that you had the small x mark instead of the
actual graph itself. This will happen when the reportserver is unable to set
a cookie. Add the reportserver URL to the trusted sites in your browser.
This problem will go away. Or another solution is to open the privacy icon
in your browser when this problem happens. This is the small red hyphen in
the bottom status bar of your browser. Double-click on this icon and it will
inform you that the cookies were blocked from this site. Select "Always
accept cookies from this site" and click on OK. Refresh the page and you are
back in action.
Hope this helps.

cookies and it didn't work. And it really doesn't seem like it would since
sometimes the chart does render. From what I can tell, googling, it's a known
problem with SQL Reports. I just can't find a known solution.
Thanks for trying. I still need help, though.

Goto your ReportServer database, and open up "ConfigurationInfo" table and
set
"UseSessionCookies" to false and give it a trrrry

designing for both pdf and excel rendering

A report I designed looked perfect html and pdf but when exported to excel it chops off the last column when printed. Does the report grow when exported to excel? How can I fix this? If I change the margins it fixes on the excel side but then the page doesn't look right on the pdf side. Thank you in advance for any help.Microsoft any suggestions please.
