NOTE 1:
Reports do not support TrueType collections for PDF generation.
To generate a PDF document for Asian languages, you must select TrueType
fonts which support Asian characters in the Report Definition, for example, Arial
Unicode MS.
NOTE 2:
You can print the PDF file by clicking Print . This button is available when you
click Create and view PDF on the generated report.
NOTE 3:
You can add digital signatures or watermark text on the generated pdf reports
using the Adobe Acrobat DC software (not included).
Excel (XLSX)
You can view and save the report output as an Excel (XLSX) document. An Excel
document contains all of the reporting elements of the Report Definition with output
data and user-defined configuration. Form Controls in the report definition are not
present in the Excel document. Any special formatting applied to the Report
Definition elements are not retained in the Excel document.
NOTE:
If you have multiple tables or plots in a report definition, the generated Excel
document displays the details of each table or plot in a separate worksheet. Each
worksheet also displays information on other reporting elements such as
keywords and logos in the report definition. Each column in the worksheet has a
combo box that corresponds to a table column that enables you to perform
analysis on the table data. In case of an Event Details table the generated Excel
document does not have any combo boxes as the data displays parent and child
records. However, if you remove the child columns from the Select Columns
dialog box, run the report, and then generate the Excel document, only the parent
records display and the columns display a combo box that enables you to perform
data analysis.
