Exports supported by the .NET backend

When the online designer is paired with a FastReport .NET backend (web report), the prepared report can be saved in any of the formats listed below. The export itself runs on the backend — the designer only triggers it and then downloads the resulting file — so the set of available formats is determined by the capabilities of the .NET web report, not of the designer's UI.

To export a report, run it in preview mode, hover over the save button on the toolbar and pick a format from the drop-down list:

Available formats

The .NET web report exposes the following items in the export menu:

• Prepared report — FastReport's native binary container (FPX). Stores the fully rendered pages so they can later be printed or re-exported from a desktop FastReport .NET application.
• Export to PDF — Adobe Acrobat document, the most universal format for distribution and printing.
• Export to Excel 2007 — Microsoft Excel spreadsheet (XLSX, Office Open XML, Excel 2007+).
• Export to Microsoft Word 2007 (DOCX) — Microsoft Word document (DOCX, Office Open XML, Word 2007+).
• Export to TXT — fixed-width plain-text output, suitable for raw data extraction or for printing on dot-matrix printers.
• Export to RTF — Rich Text document, compatible with practically any modern text editor.
• Export to Microsoft XPS — Microsoft XML Paper Specification, a fixed-layout document format.
• Export to OpenOffice Calc — OpenDocument spreadsheet (ODS).
• Export to OpenOffice Writer — OpenDocument text document (ODT).
• Export to Excel (XML) — Microsoft Excel XML Spreadsheet (Excel 2003+ XML).
• Export to CSV — Comma-Separated Values file for raw data exchange.

Each linked page describes what the format is and which export options the .NET backend exposes for it.
