Question

Hi,

I have a website that generates pdf file from CSP. Will this pdf file be generated in the server before showing to the user? WIll it be saved in the server? Is there a way to copy these files?

If you schedule a report, then the document is stored and managed by the File Repository server, regardless of output format (PDF included). You will have pro-grammatical access to the 'instance' using the BO SDK.

If you ran the report on-demand, I believe that the document will be cached by the Page server, but I don't think you will have pro-grammatical access. The File Repository server should clear the cached document when it expires.
