Print your report to any of the printers attached to your machine, or any of these special devices:
The screen. Use this for print previews or to adjust designs and filters.
An Adobe Acrobat® PDF File. These are an accurate representation of what would have been printed, but in a file which you can then send to someone via e-mail for them to view or print themselves.
An HTML File. Use this to post the report to the Internet for viewing in a browser (produces one or more HTML files). It will not look the same there as it does in a PDF file or on-screen.
A Microsoft Excel® File. You can edit this file, and use it to cut & paste into other applications. It will not look the same there as it does in a PDF file or on-screen.
Image Files/Image Files (color). Use this to create a picture of the report. It creates a .PNG file which can be used in graphics editing programs and inserted into word processing documents as a picture. This will also allow you export name tag/credentials as images to be printed outside of VSys.
An RTF File. Rich text files are an editable version of the report. RTF will maintain most of the formatting of the report, but can be opened with most word processors. Use this when the report has the content you want, but you need to change the format or presentation.
PDF for e-mail. This option creates a PDF but instead of prompting you for how you want to save it, it automatically saves a temporary copy. You are then prompted:
Open and view this file
This will open the report in a window to view with the usual print/save buttons.
E-mail this file
This will open a message in your default e-mail client with the report as an attachment in the message. You can then send it.
Delete this file
Deletes the file.
When printing to any of the special devices other than the screen or PDF for e-mail, VSys will prompt you for a file to save the resulting report into. Enter the file that you want to create in the box near the bottom labeled Where.
None of these special formats require that any other programs be installed; e.g. you don't need Adobe Acrobat® installed to make a PDF file or Microsoft Office® to make an Excel file.
