Hiding elements for print and export

Is it possible to suppress the output of certain report elements when the report is printed or exported? I want a particular image element that has a hyperlink to be visible when the report is viewed within RS's ReportViewer, but don't want it to show up on the printed or exported file. I figure, if this is even possible, the most obvious methods would be either:

1. Put the element in the page header or footer, then set up the page header or footer to not show up on the printed or exported report.

2. Put the element anywhere on the report, and set it to hidden when the report is printed or exported.

Are either of these possible? If not, is there another way to accomplish this?

Thanks,
DonThere is no way to do this. You can however write your own rendering extension in which you have full control over how to render the report.
