Format: PDF (.pdf)
Description: Appearance of the scheduled output is preserved
in an electronic document when printed using Adobe Acrobat or distributed
to a printer that has an appropriate driver. Retains all relevant
StyleSheet formatting.
Suggested Uses: E-mail, printing,
Report Library.
Considerations:
- Does not support
hyperlinks in e-mail attachments. Recipient must have an Adobe Acrobat
application to view.
- The z/OS USS
(UNIX System Services) platform requires the Web server configuration
file to have the MIME setting for PDF set to binary in mime.wfs.
- Printing is supported
when ReportCaster is configured for PDF printing and the printer
has the appropriate driver.
- Bursting is
supported.
- When ReportCaster distributes PDF reports created with a TABLE request
containing BY HIGHEST primarysortfield syntax, the report
contains page breaks on each primary sort field value.
- When distributing
a PDF report to a Managed Reporting Repository on z/OS, the PDF
report cannot be viewed in Managed Reporting. As a workaround, save
the PDF file to your local machine and then view the PDF using Adobe
Acrobat. This limitation is due to z/OS being an EBCDIC-based platform
and PDF being an ASCII-based format.
- The PDF Drill-Through
feature is supported.
