Formats define the file types that a publication's
documents will be published in. A single document can be published in multiple
formats, and these instances can be delivered to multiple destinations. For
publications with multiple documents, you can specify a different format for
each. For publications that contain
Desktop Intelligence or
Web Intelligence documents,
you can publish the whole document or a report tab within the document to
different formats.
Any formats you choose for a document apply to all
recipients of the publication. For example, you cannot publish a document as a
Microsoft Excel file for one recipient and as a PDF for another. If you want
the recipients to receive instances in those formats, each recipient will
receive a Microsoft Excel file and a PDF.
