Export Report from Code

In the report generator, you can export a report from a code to the following formats:

•

PDF

•

XPS

•	PowerPoint

•	HTML / HTML5

•

Text

•	Word / Excel

•

ODT / ODC

You can use the exportDocumentAsync() method for a report object to export.

index.php

<?php

$report = new \Stimulsoft\Report\StiReport();

$report->loadFile('SimpleList.mrt');

$report->render();

$report->exportDocument(\Stimulsoft\StiExportFormat::Pdf);

$report->renderHtml();

Information

Report export doesn't invoke its automatic rendering, so for a loaded report template you should invoke the render() method, which will render a report. This method is not required for ready documents (rendered reports).

As arguments to the exportDocument() function, you must specify the required export format from the StiExportFormat enumeration.

Name	Description
StiExportFormat::Document	Saving a document (a rendered report).
StiExportFormat::Pdf	Saving in the Adobe PDF format.
StiExportFormat::Xps	Saving in the XPS (XML Paper Specification) format.
StiExportFormat::Ppt2007	Saving in the Microsoft PowerPoint format.
StiExportFormat::Html	Saving in the HTML format.

StiExportFormat::Ods	Saving in the OpenDocument Spreadsheet format.

After exporting the report, the resulting data stream will be passed to the web browser for download as a file. The file name and MIME data type will be determined automatically.
