Saving bulk webi/crystal instances to excel/pdf formats

​Good Afternoon,

Is it possible to download in bulk all the scheduled instances, that are currently stored in CMS as webi/crystal ( webi/rpt format) , into excel or pdf format ?

Version: SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.2 Support Pack 8 Patch 7

Also we have 4.1 version as well

I know there is a post on this on a blog, but there is no answer to that Downloading bulk webi instances to excel or pdf | SAP Community


​That’s all i see in the answers to that blog

This is actually not that difficult to do - and you could do it using either the Java or, depending on the version of BOBJ that you’re using, the RESTful Web Services SDK. Are the instances already in Excel or PDF format or do you need to convert them prior to saving? And which version of BOBJ are you using?
