The SaveAsPDF function can be used on the Report type and on Report variables. This function is supported only on client report definition (RDLC) layouts. If you delete the RDLC layout and then run the SaveAsPDF function, then you get the following error:

The layout of this report has not been transformed to be viewed in the RoleTailored client. You can run this report from the Classic client.

When you call SaveAsPDF, the report is generated and saved to "FileName." A Saving to PDF window shows the status of the process. Note that the Request Form will not be shown.

The FileName parameter specifies a location on the computer running Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server. If you call this function from the RoleTailored client, such as from an action on a page, then use the DOWNLOAD Function (File) to download the .pdf file from the computer running Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server to the computer running the RoleTailored client.
