To export the report

2. Select an export format from the drop-down. The export options are listed in Table 3‑6.

   Export File Types

   Option	Usage
   PDF Document (.pdf)	Choose a report template based on report size. Use the Actual Size report template for reports with dimensions less than or equal to 14400px by 14400px. See 1.1.3, “Report Templates,” on page 1 for more information.
   Comma Separated Values (.csv)	Characters outside the Latin 1 character set can cause the Excel spreadsheet to look unacceptable. Try saving the file and importing it using Excel's Import functionality.
   Microsoft Word (.docx)	Do not export reports having more than 63 columns. In Microsoft Word, you cannot create tables having more than 63 columns.
   Rich Text Format (.rtf)	It creates a large output file and, therefore, takes longer to export than PDF, for example.
   OpenDocument Text (.odt)	For best results, minimize the number of rows and columns to make sure that they don’t overlap.
   OpenDocument Spreadsheet(.ods)	Same as ODT.
   Microsoft Excel - Paginated(.xlsx)	Not recommended for exporting most tables or crosstabs. Repeats headers and footers on each page.
   Microsoft Excel (.xlsx)	Ignores page size and produces spreadsheet-like output.
   Microsoft PowerPoint (.pptx)	Each page of the report becomes a slide in the PowerPoint presentation.
   Comma Separated Values - Metadata (.csv)	If the required CSV metadata properties are set in the report, it generates a data-oriented document and provides consistent columns of data, with or without column headers on top of the document. Otherwise, an empty document is generated. It does not preserve the style and formatting information. For more information about setting the CSV metadata properties, see Exporting to CSV Format Using Report Metadata.
   Microsoft Excel - Metadata(.xlsx)	If the required Excel metadata properties are set in the report, it generates a data-oriented document and provides consistent columns of data, with or without column headers on top of the document. Otherwise, an empty document is generated. It also keeps relevant data with their style and formatting information. For more information about setting the Excel metadata properties, see Exporting to XLSX Format Using Report Metadata.
