Delphi

uses
  dxPSdxPDFViewerLnk;  // Declares the TdxPDFViewerReportLink class
// ...
var
  AReportLink: TBasedxReportLink;
begin
  // Creates a PDF Viewer control report link
  AReportLink := dxComponentPrinter1.AddEmptyLinkEx(TdxPDFViewerReportLink, dxPDFViewer1);
  AReportLink.Component := dxPDFViewer1;  // Associates the created report link with the source control
  try
    AReportLink.Print(False);  // Prints chart content without user interaction
  finally
    dxComponentPrinter1.DeleteLink(AReportLink.Index); // Deletes the report link after export
  end;
end;

C++

#include "dxPSdxPDFViewerLnk.hpp"  // Declares the TdxPDFViewerReportLink class
// ...
  TBasedxReportLink *AReportLink;
  // Creates a PDF Viewer control report link
  AReportLink = dxComponentPrinter1->AddEmptyLinkEx(__classid(TdxPDFViewerReportLink), dxPDFViewer1);
  AReportLink->Component = dxPDFViewer1;  // Associates the created report link with the source control
  try
  {
    AReportLink->Print(false);  // Prints chart content without user interaction
  }
  __finally
  {
    dxComponentPrinter1->DeleteLink(AReportLink->Index); // Deletes the report link after export
  }
