How to show SSRS URL Report in Print Preview Mode? - reporting-services

I am showing report from web (angular application) through SSRS URL. It shows me output like below.
How can i show report default as print preview mode? In PDF its showing correctly but i want same view in browser.
Thanks.!!

I am unaware of any option to do this. You can schedule this report to generate the PDF to a physical location and have your customers access the PDF directly if you want to hide the SSRS interface... but a lot of people like to export tables like this to Excel.
I recommend you educate your customers how to use this interface as it is pretty useful.

Embed external URL into SSRS report

I am currently using SQL Server 2019.
I read in earlier editions of SSRS that you were not able to embed external web links into a SSRS report, it this still the case?
I currently have 4 separate KPI screen URL's written by our Group IT department and I would like to have all 4 KPI's on one screen so I though I would embed these into one SSRS Report.
Thanks

Where did you read that? It's never been true. There's even a doc page on how to do it: Add a hyperlink to a URL in a paginated report (Report Builder)

Is there a way to automate saving a PDF version of an HTML formatted report whenever it is viewed in the browser?

I am working with SQL Server and C# to create individual employee reports. I am using HTML and CSS to format the reports and display in a browser. The customer also wants a printout of every report. I would like to have a formatted PDF version of the report automatically saved to a folder on the server whenever a report is viewed in the browser. I could create a process to print all of the PDF pages at one time.
With regards to the generation of the PDF, as it happens I had to do something similar a couple of years ago.
I was generating HTML reports from C# that I needed to convert to PDF.
There is a nuget package named OpenHtmlToPdf that uses wkhtmlopdf to convert HTML to PDF.
At the time I also wrote a bit of blurb on this subject on my blog here!
For your scenario, when the customer requests a report, on the server side you could generate the html as you are now. Then you could use OpenHtmlToPdf to additionally generate a PDF version on the server at the same time.
All you would then need to work out is how to get the PDF link address to the user (email, web link, etc)

how to embed chart with API into another webpage

I'm really new to BIRT report developer. Right now, I need to get the API from my chart, which was created in a report, and past it to another web page. But, I really don't know how to do that, can anyone help me solve my problem?
I'm using BIRT PRO, and the only code I can get is from the XML source. I have to submit the report next week, so I'm very nervous. I will greatly appreciate for any help.
If you want to view content from the BIRT report in a browser you can do any of the following:
Deploy the BIRT runtime viewer with Tomcat - http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2014/12/deploy-birt-viewer-for-tomcat/.
Download the free F-Type server and put your BIRT report there, then you can use the "interactive viewer" web interface to show the entire report or use the JavaScript API to embed the entire report or just parts of the report in a web page. http://birt.actuate.com/products/birt-ihub-ftype
Run the report from BIRT Designer Professional and export the report as HTML content.

How to have a html link to another report in exported pdf of SSRS report

I am new to SSRS reporting and I have a requirement described below:
I have Sales report created and each of the product has a link to go to another report which has product details. This works perfectly when deployed and viewed as html. But when the parent report is exported to pdf, the link to product does not work nor the link is highlighted.
Is there any configurations or setting to be done so I can view the product details from exported pdf report? Viewing the product details from the link can be using the browser. I just want to enable the html to next report on pdf.
It sounds like you are currently using a Go to report action to drillthrough to your product details report. If that's correct, drillthrough links are not supported in PDF rendering, however you can switch your action to Go to URL and build a hyperlink to the report on your report server. Your URL expression would then look something like the following:
="http://MyServer/ReportServer/?%2fMyFolder%2fProductDetailsReport&rs:Command=Render&MyParameter=" & Fields!ProductID.Value
Here are a couple links on building SSRS URLs:

Why is my SSRS report not appearing in my browser?

I'm trying to view my SSRS report in a browser. According to this MSDN page, I should see a page that looks like this:
When I load that page on the computer hosting my SSRS report, I get no results at all. My browser looks like:
I am able to preview my report in Visual Studio Business Intelligence Development Studio and the report looks exactly like I'd expect. I can also export the report to a PDF file and it looks fine. What could I be doing wrong with regards to viewing my report in a browser.
It looks like you haven't actually deployed the report to your local Report Server.
You say you're just previewing through BIDS, which is rendering it in BIDS, not the Report Server itself.
Right now your local Report Server has nothing to display; either you don't have the specific rights or there are simply no items to display.
You need to deploy either the individual report or the project to the Report Server.
