Reporting with PDF Output

PDF (Portable Document Format) is a standard for creating fully formatted documents. The virtue of PDF is that what you see when you produce a PDF document is what the other person sees (unlike with HTML where how the HTML displays can depend on the users' browsers). Alpha Five supports PDF as one of 4 document formats when you want to share a report with other people. In addition, Alpha Five tools support watermarking, encryption, and linearizing (which optimize large PDF documents for web download).

When you print, your report can be formatted as HTML (which can be displayed on web pages), Rich Text (which can be read by Microsoft Word), Plain Text, or Adobe PDF (which is good for emailing and archiving).
