Here are some steps to try with the code-based Rave components:

* Drop a ReportSystem component on your Datamodule.
* Set this property: ReportSystem1.DoNativeOutput := False;
* Set the appropriate output parameters to file, not printer.
* Kill Status reporting, anything that would locally pop a form
* Set the FileName and path -- use the "files" directory for output, setting
type to .rtf or .htm, as appropriate to which report type you are
generating.
* Drop an RPRenderHTML and/or an RPRenderPDF component on the form
* Set the Render object for the specific report, eg
    ReportSystem1.RenderObject := RPRenderPDF1;
* Code your ReportSystem events (BeforePrint, Header, Print, etc.)
* Execute them with ReportSystem1.Execute.
* Return the generated file with the following:
  const
    AIPOptions: string =
'toolbar=no,status=no,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,location=no,d
irectories=no,width=780,height=580';
  AIPNewWindow: string = 'NewWindow("%s", "%s", "%s");';   { A mask for the
Format }
....
....
    AIPURL := WebApplication.URLBase + '/filesNC/' + sFileName;
    AddToInitProc('NewWindow("' + AIPURL  + '", "Agenda", "' + AIPOptions
+'");');

There's your blueprint.
