Exporting a report book

You can use the Book Export Wizard to export a report book to these formats:
  • PDF
  • Microsoft Excel (.xlsx)
  • Microsoft PowerPoint (.pptx)
  • Images (.png)

You can specify whether all the reports in the book are exported to a single file, or to a separate file for each report. That is:

  • One PDF file containing all reports. Or a separate PDF file for each report.
  • One Excel file in which each report is displayed on a separate tab. Or a separate Excel file for each report.
  • One PowerPoint file in which each report is displayed as a separate slide. Or a separate PowerPoint file for each report.
  • One .zip file containing images of all reports. Or separate .zip files, each containing an image of one report.
Note: If you export to Excel 97-2003 (.xls) you must select Overwrite existing files in the last step of the wizard. Only the last report in the report book is exported.
