Blank browser window when exporting to PDF

Hi:
Is there any way to avoid the blank browser window we see when exporting a
report to pdf?
I'll prefer to download the pdf on the same window to save it to the disk,
or to open it on another browser window using the acrobat reader plugin, but
what reporting services is doing is sending a request to download the report
on a new window, so after finishing the download, the user has to close this
window.
Any solutions?
Thanks,
Daniel Bello UrizarriI do not know what happens to you, here is what happend with my browser
(IE7.0, but it behaved the same when I used IE6):
1. In report viewer, choose export to PDF (or any other exporting format)
and click "Export";
2. A blank Browser window pops up followed by "File Download" dialog box
with button "Open", "Save", and "Cancel";
3.
a. If you choose "Open", the report is opened inside the new browser
window;
b. If you choose "Save" or "Cancel", the newly opened browser CLOSES
automatically. Of course, when you choose "Save", "Save File" dialog box
pops up while the blank browser window closes.
It must be something wrong with your browser/or setting being changes, such
as certain type of client-side script were disabled..., if it does not close
the blank window automatically.

In my PC (and most of the others in my company) the browser window never
gets closed. If I click "Open", an instance of the Acrobat Reader standalone
application is started. If I click on "Save" or "Cancel", after the file
download dialog closes, the browser window remains there. I have IE 6 and
Acrobat Reader 7.
Do you have any ideas about where to look on the browser configuration to
change this behavior?
