Format: PDF (.pdf)

Description: Appearance of the scheduled output is preserved in an electronic document when printed using Adobe Acrobat. Retains all relevant StyleSheet formatting.

Suggested Uses: E-mail, Library.

Considerations:

• Does not support hyperlinks in e-mail attachments. Recipient must have an Adobe Acrobat application to view.
• The z/OS USS (UNIX System Services) platform requires the Web server configuration file to have the MIME setting for PDF set to binary in mime.wfs.
• Bursting is supported.
• When ReportCaster distributes PDF reports created with a TABLE request containing BY HIGHEST primarysortfield syntax, the report contains page breaks on each primary sort field value.
• When distributing a PDF report to a Managed Reporting Repository on z/OS, the PDF report cannot be viewed in Managed Reporting. As a workaround, save the PDF file to your local machine and then view the PDF using Adobe Acrobat. This limitation is due to z/OS being an EBCDIC-based platform and PDF being an ASCII-based format.
• The PDF Drill‑Through feature is supported.
