Reprinting archived reports
You can reprint archived reports in these ways:
- Reprint through the Archived Reports session.
- Reprint directly through the Print Archived Reports session.
- Reprint through PDF.
Reprinting through the Archived Reports session
Use this method only if the archived reports are stored in the LN native report format.
To reprint a report:
- Start the session and search the report that must be reprinted. You can search on properties such as report archive group, keywords, user and print date/time.
- Select the report that must be reprinted and click to start the session.
- Click in this session to reprint the report.
Reprinting directly through the Print Archived Reports session
Use this method only if the archived reports are stored in the LN native report format, and the properties of the reprinted reports are known.
To reprint reports:
- Start the session.
- Specify the report properties, such as the Report Archive Group and keywords in the selection range fields.
- Click to reprint the reports.
You can print only a limited number of reports in one run.
Reprinting through PDF
Use this method only if the archived reports are stored in PDF format.
To reprint a report:
- Start the session and search the report that must be reprinted. You can search on properties such as report archive group, keywords, user and print date/time.
- Double-click the report to view the details. Among other things, the full path name of the report file is displayed.
- Open and print the report file through PDF, for example through Acrobat Reader.
Constraints
- You cannot reprint archived reports on a Crystal device.
- You can experience some layout problems if you reprint an archived report on another device then the original report was printed. The problems occur if device properties, such as locale, paper type, and page length, differ for both devices.
- Reprinting through PDF can lead to layout differences because PDF is proportional font based and certain device types are fixed font based.
