Other PDF Sample Report Template options
In addition to saving a PDF Sample Report template as a new template, the following options are available from the File menu on the PDF Report Designer dialog box:
• New Report - Clears all items from the Work Area and leaves the Work Area blank in preparation for designing a new Sample PDF Report template.
• Load Report - Opens the Load Report Template dialog box. The dialog box displays all the saved Sample PDF Report templates by name. You can select a report template from this list of saved templates, and then click Load to close the dialog box and load the report in the PDF Report Designer Report dialog box.
• Save Report - Saves the currently loaded Sample PDF Report template without changing its name. Any changes that you make and save overwrite the existing report template.
• Save as - Opens the Save Report Template dialog box. The current name for the report template is displayed in the Template name field. You can enter a new template name to save the report template as a new template.
 | Save As is a useful option for creating a new report template by editing an existing template, and then saving the template with a new name. You do not have to create an entirely new report template. |
• Render report - Generates an onscreen preview of the Sample PDF report. The report demonstrates the format and the contents of any Sample PDF report that will be generated based on this report template. A toolbar is displayed at the top of the Preview dialog box with icons for working with the preview, such as zooming in or zooming out the preview. Hold your mouse pointer over an icon on the toolbar to open a tooltip that explains the icons’ function.
