9.15 Creating and Viewing a Report as a PDF or Excel
After executing a Report Definition manually or automatically, you can view and
save the report as a PDF or Excel (XLSX) document.
This way you can share the PDF/Excel document with someone, or perform some
calculations on the Excel document by applying Excel formulas.
You can either view the PDF, Excel/CSV documents and consecutive split
documents (if any) in the Report Management section under the Report snapshot
when you generate the report manually or you can locate them in the folder
configured in the
Report Output Definition dialog box when you generate the report
automatically.
PDF
You can view and save the report output in a PDF document. A PDF document
contains all the report elements of the Report Definition with output data and
sorting applied. It also displays the special formatting applied to Report Definition
elements (such as tables, plots, keywords, and so on). The PDF document can
have a maximum of 500 pages, if the number of pages exceeds 500 the document
splits into two.
