That's definitely a departure from the current implemntation. Are you
calling the viewer from the report explorer?

1. The WebTier.Viewersettings.ZoomPercent property is used to specify the
default zoom for all reports.
2. When sending a URL request to the WebTier, the zoom parameter is zoom=XX
where the XX is the percent. For example… -
I think you would need to make a call to the WebTier with some custom
parameters. Something like
content=Email;mailto=somebody@somecompany.com;
Then write some custom processing on the webtier to email the PDF.
RBServer\Demos\WebTier\Custom Viewer shows how to add a custom button to the
web viewer.
One approach would be to write some custom webtier code to receive the
request and change Content=Viewer to Content=PDF. This assumes that the
request contains all required pareter values.
To generate a PDF report and bypass the viewer, send a request to the
WebTier that request "content=PDF", rather than "content=Viewer"
One cause of this error is that two frames do not come from exactly the same
URL. In this case, the nav frame is trying to access the parent frame. Both
of these frames should come from the same URL. Check the WebTier settings
