PDF Reports.
Want to email a table to someone? Just click the new “PDF Report” button to generate a
PDF report that can be emailed and printed! PDF Reports use design themes so they look
great, and you can easily customize report layouts with simple XML configuration files.
Plus, the reports obey the user-selected filter, search and sort criteria, so what you see
is what you get.
