Excellent Find!

I picked up this inexpensive tool LEADTOOLS eprint IV. When I print out my universe details, it shows up as a printer and spools the output to a word doc. So now all joins, objects , etc can go into word.

Also, you can write your bo reports to pdf. Then convert them to word with this tool. PDF to word is not 100% for complex docs but it is much better than bo.

Also, You can print directly in BO to word. I tried this on a very complex document and it worked will. 96 percent accuracy.

Ofcourse what everyone would like (when you’re not on 6.1b) is to print to Excel :confused: ! Do they offer that as well?

No Excel is not available. Some other formats are like xml or text.

I just tried it with to charts side by side and it worked perfectly.

Glad to hear that.

Is there by which We can this tool as an Addin in Business Objects ?

If this tool uses a Virtual Print Driver like some other PDF Converter to which one prints the BO Report to get the desired output then we can have an Add-In which can invoke this… But then its more or less same as using File - > Print or Ctrl + P to invoke the Print Dialog and choose this Driver…
