    Intro

    ancoreShare Extension lets you download and share your reports as Adobe PDF, Microsoft PowerPoint presentation (PPTX), or as Data Export in form of Excel or CSV files. The settings in Export Types enable you to define the properties for PDF and PPTX file types.

    Learn more about Excel and CSV exports in article Data Export.


    Export settings for Adobe PDF

    The following table lists and describes the options available for Adobe PDF files.

    • File Name: Provide a name for your report. The PDF file will be generated with this name.
    • PDF Title: Provide the title for the PDF. This title is displayed in the title bar of the PDF viewer.
    • PDF Subject: Provide the subject for the PDF. 
    • PDF Author: Provide the author name for the PDF. 
    • Compress PDF: Select this option to enable ancoreShare Extension to reduce the size of the PDF file without compromising quality. This optimizes the file size against the expected quality of images, fonts, and other file content, but it may take a bit longer to process.
    • Autoprint: Enable this option to automatically show the Print window when the generated file is opened in a PDF viewer.

    NOTE: The title, subject, and author name are a part of metadata information.

    Here's an example showing PDF properties:


    Export settings for Microsoft PPTX

    The following table lists and describes the options available for Microsoft PowerPoint PPTX.

    • File Name: Provide a name for your report. The PPTX will be generated with this name.
    • Title: Provide a title for the PPTX.
    • Subject: Provide a subject for the PPTX.
    • Author: Provide the author name for the PPTX
    • Company: Provide your organization name.
    NOTE: The title, subject, author, and company name will be preserved under the Document Properties in the downloaded report.

    Here's an example showing PPTX properties:


    To create an export file, like PDF or a PPTX, you have to choose the required option from the Report Elements menu segment. Use the Select Export Type drop-down list to select the required format (the default is PDF). When you choose the Export Type as PPTX, the report is automatically downloaded on clicking the export button, and no Preview image is displayed. 

    You can create 16:9 and 4:3 formats for PPTX exports. When exporting a PPTX in one of those two formats and opening it in PowerPoint, you can see how many millimeters this are

    Best Practice
    Even if you are planning to create a PPTX report, we recommend keeping the export file type to PDF while you are designing, to take advantage of all the benefits the preview window has. It will look exactly the same in PowerPoint when you later generate it as PPTX.
    Data Export
    Note that data exports can basically be generated additionally to PDF or PPTX files. To export the data only is just optional. Learn more in article Data Export.
