Cannot export a report to a pdf?

    hi Guys

    I have created a report in Business Intelligence which has got about 90 pages and each page has got about 3 graphs each.

    Now when I try to export this report to pdf, it doesnt do it. IT displays a message box which says : "Exporting" but it does not export to the pdf.

    I have tried exporting other reports in the same project and they are fine.

    Any suggestions guys??

    Thanks

    I am wondering whethering it is simply taking a (very) long time to produce the PDF. Reporting Services will re-render the report and I suspec that it is simply taking a while to produce the 270 graphs.

    If you can, try to create the PDF when no one else is using the server. Whilst do this, check whether there is any activity on the server (e.g. Task Manager).

    I've seen this issue when exporting reports like this to PDF. It can take a very long time to export reports containing lots of graphs.

    I agree. The problem is that IE will start to timeout on you when it gets bigger and bigger. I found its far more efficient to run it in batch and export via a subscription over night. I have basic statements which print over 4500 pages, they take over two and a half hours to produce to a PDF.
