To RTF
To export the results of a report to a RTF format file, follow the steps below:
- In JReport Designer, open the report you want to export.
- Click File > Export To > RTF. The Export to RTF dialog appears. See the dialog.
- Specify the directory and file name respectively in the Directory and File name text boxes. If you don't specify the name, JReport will apply the report name as the default RTF file name.
- If you are exporting a page report, in the Select Report Tabs box, select the report tabs in the page report you want to export. The selected report tabs will be exported in the list order. You can click
or
to change the order or the report tabs.
- Check the No Margin checkbox to remove the margins that are originally set while you design the report.
- Check Best Editing to apply the flow layout when exporting.
- Check Run Linked Report if you want to include the linked reports in the exported RTF result.
- Click OK, and a file with the extension .rtf will be generated.
Notes:
- If Best Editing is checked, the results can be edited easily, but the layout may be different from that you designed, because some flow layout properties will not be supported by JReport RTF exporter, such as clear, relative and so on.
- In the Best Editing mode, one report just has one default tab which is in the last paragraph, so others will be ignored.
- In order to get a better effect, Microsoft Office Word 2003 is recommended.
