If you are using iServer or iServer Express you can schedule the report to execute and specify the output format as a part of the job. If you are using some other means of rendering the report, you should be able to programatically set the desired format.
More importantly is the time-out issue which is not desirable. Is there a way to better design the report or data source to avoid this? Off-loading work onto the database tier or building a more restrictive query could help.
Can you supply some more details? How are you exposing report/content to you users? How flexible is the data set you have created?
