About Export Formats

From the report toolbar, you can choose to view your report in a variety of formats. The formats that are available are determined by the rendering extensions that are installed on the report server. When you choose another format, a second browser window is used to display the report, using a viewer associated with the export format you selected. If a viewer is not available for the format you select, you can choose a different format.

The following export formats are included in a default report server installation. The list of export formats available to you may vary from those listed here.
