  I used ActiveReport 6.2.3681.0 in a ASP.Net/C# Web application. For PDF export I used following code :
  
  [b]DataDynamics.ActiveReports.Export.Pdf.PdfExport pdfExportObject = new DataDynamics.ActiveReports.Export.Pdf.PdfExport();

  pdfExportObject.ExportBookmarks = true;
  
  pdfExportObject.Options.Title = exportFileName;

  pdfExportObject.Export(DataDynamics.ActiveReports.ActiveReport.Document, exportPath + “\” + exportFileName);[/b]

  It is working fine in Internet Explorer but it is throwing error in EDGE/CHROME when the file name has COMMA.
  
  I found this is a known issue specific to Chrome/EDGE specifically related to the Content-Disposition header. This is caused by the fact that chrome/edge doesn’t properly handle escaping of commas while Firefox, IE, etc. do.

  In order to fix this we need to wrap the file name in response header with “Double Quotes”. E.g.-
  
  Response.AddHeader(“Content-Disposition”, “attachment; filename="” + saveNm + “.pdf"”);

  MY QUESTION IS, HOW SHOULD I DO THIS IN DataDynamics.ActiveReports.Export.Pdf.PdfExport ?

  Please try exporting the Pdf to a stream instead of a file - https://help.grapecity.com/activereports/webhelp/Legacy/ActiveReports6/webframe.html

  Then you can download this stream as Pdf through the Response object and add the Header as required.

  Thanks for your reply. I tried DataDynamics.ActiveReports.ActiveReport.Document to convert stream of bytes, but that is not working. Probably that is not properly being parsed.
  
  Is there any code snippet that exports the pdf to a stream?

  Here is a code snippet:

  private void btnExport_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
  
  {
  
  rptDataDynamics rpt = new rptDataDynamics();
  
  DataDynamics.ActiveReports.Export.Pdf.PdfExport p = new DataDynamics.ActiveReports.Export.Pdf.PdfExport();
  
  rpt.Run();
  
  this.arv.Document = rpt.Document;
  
  MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
  
  p.Export(rpt.Document, ms);
  
  }
