ReportViewer Default Format

[aplocher]

Hello, I was wondering if there was any way to change the default
format of the ASP.NET 2.0 ReportViewer control to be a PDF. I want
only IE to render in HTML defaultly, whereas Firefox and Opera (and
anything else) would generate a PDF so it doesn't look so mangled. I'm
rather surprised that Reporting Services 2.0 has such poor
cross-browser compatibility, since ASP.NET 2.0 and all of Microsofts
other recent web-products has pretty good cross-browser support. All
of the HTML tables look really bad in any other browser than IE.

btw, I'm using it with a ServerReport.

Thanks

-Adam

I would probably just call the Reporting Services Web Service to retrieve
the PDF. It's only several lines of code...
