BusinessObjects
Enterprise provides you with several file format exporting options:
Adobe
Portable Document Format (.pdf)
Microsoft Excel (1997-2003) (.xls)
Microsoft Excel (1997-2003) (.xls)
data-only version
Microsoft Word (1997-2003) (.doc)
Microsoft Word (1997-2003)
(.doc)—editable
Extensible Markup Language (.xml)
Note:
When you export a report to a file
format other than
Crystal Reports (.rpt), you may
lose some or all of the formatting. However, the program attempts to preserve
as much formatting as the export format allows.
The difference between Excel and
Excel (data only) is that Excel attempts to preserve the look and feel of your
original report.
The Microsoft Word (1997-2003)
format maintains as much formatting as possible, including graphics. Each
object appears in an individual text field. Microsoft Word (1997-2003)—editable
format does not preserve as much formatting; text is displayed in lines and
images are placed in line with the text. Rich text format is similar to
Microsoft Word (1997-2003).
Separated Values (CSV) format is
only available from the Web viewer.
You cannot export to
Crystal Reports (RPT) format
from a drilled-down view.
Flash objects only appear if you export to Crystal reports or PDF
formats. Fallback images appear when exporting to all other formats.
