Hi,

I could like to export BO report (both Webi and Crystal) to MS Powerpoint (pptx) using JAVA SDK ? Can we do this? Please help.

Thanks

To be more precise, you can find a list of output formats in the "BusinessObjects Enterprise Java SDK Developer Guide" (boesdk_java_dg_12_en). Search for "Supported Output Formats".

Here's what's in the doc:

The supported output formats are defined in the com.crystaldecisions.sdk.plugin.desktop.common.IReportFormatOptions.CeReportFormat interface.

The following table shows all supported output formats and which report document kinds support each one.

Output format constant	Crystal Reports	Web Intelligence	Desktop Intelligence
CRYSTAL_REPORT	yes
EXCEL	yes	yes	yes
EXCEL_DATA_ONLY	yes
MHTML	yes	yes	yes
PDF	yes	yes	yes
RTF	yes
RTF_EDITABLE	yes
TEXT_CHARACTER_SEPARATED	yes
TEXT_PAGINATED	yes
TEXT_PLAIN	yes
TEXT_TAB_SEPARATED	yes
TEXT_TAB_SEPARATED_TEXT	yes
USER_DEFINED	n/a	n/a	n/a
WORD	yes
XML	yes

Hi Antoine,

Thank  you for your answer.  I understand we don't have straight forward process to export to PPTX from BO Report.

Just I'm looking for best alternative. One you mentioned, to export to PDF, and then create a slide deck from it.  I hope you are mentioned thru apache POI ?

Do we have any process to export BO Report to XML and then convert it to PPTX?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
