Bypass PDF open/save prompt

I have figured out how to call a report and pass parameters via a URL,
but I get the dreaded Open/Save prompt. Is there any way to bypass
this and just open the PDF file? Also, is it even possible to simply
print the report with the user's default printer when a button is
clicked?
I am using SSRS 2005 and SQL 2005 June CTP with Visual Studio 2005 Beta
2. My application is ASP.NET with VB
Thanks in advance.RS SP2 has print support from the report viewer. I think that the open/save
prompt is a security feature of the web browser. If you want to get the PDF
without the prompt, you can use the Web Service' Render method

difference. Do you have any code examples of this?
Chris|||From what I've seen, SP2's print is a button on the report viewer web page.
When that button is clicked, an activex control is downloaded that does the
printing. I don't know what happens behind the scenes.

SQL 2005. A user can then subscribe to a report and have it printed to the
named printer.. THe printer must be installed on the server...
