SSRS - In Report Viewer we allow users to output to PDF and Excel. However, when they drill down to a linked report then hit the blue back button to get to the parent report, they are then able to export to all of the standard SSRS export options; XML, CSV, MHTML, TIFF, etc.
In SQL Profiler I see the queries from for both reports, but when I hit the back button I don’t see anything, so I’m assuming everything is handled in report viewer. Any ideas?

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.
How can i combine couple of rdl reports and display that to SSRS native web portal. I already created that report and deployed to the server (SSRS Native portal) using Sql Server data tool 2015. But my client wants to view all reports in the same window. Although all reports has the same parameter.enter image description here

The SSRS native web portal doesn't contain a mechanism to link multiple reports and run them on the save page via shared parameters (or anything even like that).
You have two options:
Create the merged report yourself. You should be able to import (or copy/paste) the datasets from each report into a new report, link them all one one set of parameter(s), and copy paste the content of each report (then fix all broken references).
The option above is the naive way to merge three reports into one. Instead, you could create a new master report, add the shared parameter and then add each additional report as a subreport to the parent report. Tutorial here.
Create an ASP.NET application that wraps the multiple reports into a single page. This will be quite a bit of work if you have never done this, but you would be able to create a custom parameter(s), pass the parameter(s) into the each report through code and render the multiple reports on a single page.
I would recommend option number 2.
i am not using SSIS, C#, web. only ssrs repoting project

To export reports automatically on a schedule you can set up a Subscription:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159762.aspx
If you want to export many different versions of the report based on a dataset used to populate the parameters, with one row for each version required you can use a Data-Driven Subscription:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms169673.aspx
If either of those links stop working, google "SSRS report subscription" and you will find a vast number of resources, tutorials and examples you can look through.
Hopefully this will be pretty simple! I've googled around but apparently I'm the only person in existence with this issue. When I go to Export my report as a PDF, a dialog box opens that only has options for Save and Cancel. I want either:
An Open option on that window so the report opens in whatever PDF viewer
The report to open automatically AFTER the user saves it as whatever filename they want.
Note that I don't want it to save automatically, but provide them some option to open it AFTER they've saved it.
This is based on the users browser, and has little or nothing to do with SSRS.
I am using URL access to embed a report in an application using a URL that looks something like this:
https://servername/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?/ReportPath/¶meter=value
This report has several parameters whose valid values are populated by queries.
The report is displayed in about the same amount of time as it takes when accessing the report via Report Manager.
However, I've noticed that if I change a parameter in Report Manager and click the "View Report" button, it refreshes a few seconds faster than if I refresh the report by URL access.
I assume this is because refreshing the report in Report Manager cuts out some processing steps. It looks like a bunch of state is sent back to the server when you refresh the report using the "View Report" button in Report Manager, whereas I presume refreshing the report via URL access is essentially doing all of the work from scratch.
Are my assumptions correct? Is there any way I can refresh a report with new parameters via URL access just as quickly as it does when using Report Manager?
You're assumptions are correct, as far as I know the Report Manager and ReportViewer controls will have a session spanning multiple requests. (Although I'm a bit surprised this would also work when you change the parameters, because I can't imagine what steps could be skipped in that case.)
To control this, the Report Manager uses sessions. Even though I haven't tried it myself, you should be able to do this with URLS by using the SessionId and related parameters.
Let us know if this worked for you!
