Exporting and Publishing Reports in the Report Designer

Instead of printing the report, you may want to export it into a file and distribute it electronically to your clients or coworkers. VSReport Designer supports several export formats, listed below:

Format	Description
Paged HTML	Creates one HTML file for each page in the report. The HTML pages contain links that let the user navigate the report.
Drill-Down HTML	Creates a single HTML file with sections that can be collapsed and expanded by the user by clicking on them.
Plain MILT	Creates a single, plain HTML file.
PDF	Creates a PDF file that can be viewed on any computer equipped with Adobe's Acrobat viewer or browser plug-ins.
VSPrinter	Creates a file using the VSPrinter control's native format. The file can be loaded, viewed, and printed from a VSPrinter control within an application or Web page.
Text	Creates a plain text file.
