Exporting reports with images

If your report includes images and you distribute your reports via email, consider using HTML for Word or generating a PDF from either BizInt Smart Charts or from the HTML.

When you export your report as HTML, BizInt Smart Charts will create a
*.htm file and a directory called *.img with a set of .jpg files. If you are
sending your HTML report via email, choose the “HTML - for Word”
export format.

Another option is to create a PDF from the HTML export by opening the HTML export in Adobe Acrobat and saving as a PDF.

There is no capability to embed images in an Excel file, so images in Excel will always be links.

To embed the images in your Word file:

1. In Word, select Edit | Links... (or Alt-E-K in Word 2007)
2. A Links panel will appear showing all the links to the graphics.
3. Select all the items in the list, check the "Save picture in document"
   box at the bottom right of the panel, and click OK.
4. Save the file as a .doc file.
5. Troubleshooting -- if images are still showing up as links, here are some things to check:

• file size: the Word file should be 2-3 times larger after you embed the images.
• if you are copying the BizInt report from one Word document to another, embed the images and save the .doc file first

Creating a PDF from the HTML export:

1. From BizInt Smart Charts, export your report using the "HTML (chart and records" format.
2. Open the exported HTML file in Adobe Acrobat (must be the full Acrobat, not the Reader)
3. Acrobat will convert the HTML to Acrobat format.
4. Save the file as a .pdf file.
