Exporting Reports To Files
You can save Proctor’s testing data summary and chart reports for posting to a web server or
for e-mailing to clients. The program supports several different export formats:
• Adobe Acrobat .PDF: Universal format for Internet document distribution. Requires the
Adobe Reader program to display the files.
• AutoCAD .DXF: Format for interchange among CAD programs.
• Windows Metafile (.EMF): These files can be inserted as a picture into a word processing
document or manipulated with a vector-drawing program such as Adobe Illustrator.
• Portable Network Graphics (.PNG) and JPEG File (.JPG): These files are "bitmap" files
that can be inserted into word processing documents or edited with a raster-drawing program such as Windows Paint or Photoshop.
To save a chart or summary report as a file, select either Test > Output Data Summary
Report or Test > Output Chart Report, then, from the Output to box on the next dialog, select one
of the file formats outlined above.
