Link directly to PDF version?

I'd like to be able to give users a link that will take them directly to
the PDF version of a report without ever seeing the interactive reports
server pages or having to use the export command manually. The PDF would
have to be freshly generated each time, rather than simply linking to
the PDF output from a subscription delivery.
Is this possible?Yes by using the Format command set to PDF, e.g.:
http://servername/reportserver?/SampleReports/Company
Sales&rs:Format=PDF&rs:Command=Render
If you want to avoid report session caching and generate the report anew
with each user requests, append rs:ClearSession=true to the URL link.

Hope this helps.

Limiting Access with Forms Authentication

All,
I have successfully implemented a forms authentication model for
reporting services in our dev environment. I took the code directly
from the MSDN whitepaper "Using Forms Authentication in Reporting
Services", although I did modify the authentication portion to use an
in house Oracle solution. How do I go about ensuring that only certain
groups (departments) have access to certain folders in the report
manager? Is this possible with a forms authentication solution?
ThanksSearch the below URL for 'forms authentication groups'. I found quite a few
results:
