Answer / mahesh

The export option is tricky option. If you are using Word as
target use RTF word version makes the report differant. The
filed values might be missing if the hight of field is less
than height of font. No error is generated in the previous
case. The PDF generator is fairly good.

If provided a choice RPT is the best option for export. RPT
will save data with report, user will be able to drill down
if needed and user can export to any format if he/she
changes mind.

It's best to do few tryals & verify.

Answer / sukhveer rai

Should be careful with boxes if used and if layout is
landscape and you have data till the right corner of the
report. Sometimes Preview tab may show you correctly
formatted but when you export it may differ. Just have to
make sure that all your fields are well inside the report
layout.

Answer / a lewis

Exact exports are exports that preserve the layout and
formatting of objects in the exported document. The
exported document looks almost identical to the display on
the Preview tab of the report being exported. Adobe Format
(PDF), Rich Text Format, MS Word, and HTML are exact
exports.
