• Save the Flash file, by clicking Save. Name and save the file. Do not
change the file type. You are returned to the Document Editor.
To
activate the links in the document, if the document is exported
to an MHT file, end users must add the folder containing the
stand-alone Flash document to the list of Trusted locations in the
Adobe Flash Player Settings Manager.
Exporting a document to a PDF file
Export a document to a PDF, so that you can distribute the MicroStrategy
data in PDF format. PDF format retains the data structure and formatting of
the document, so that the document still looks professional. The clarity and
ease of analysis is preserved as well. You can view the PDF on any device with
a PDF reader, such as another computer, a Linux machine, a Nook, or a
Kindle.
PDF files also allow you to send the data in the easiest possible way, by
emailing it, while retaining the structure and formatting of the document.
For example, you send out monthly updates about your company's financial
data to a group of shareholders. Emailing the PDF of the document means
that the shareholders receive a professionally formatted document with
clean, clear information every time, without extra work from the document
designer or administrator. If you set up subscriptions, the PDF is sent
automatically on the correct day of the month. (For information on
subscriptions, see Subscribing to documents using MicroStrategy
Distribution Services, page 128.)
Exporting a multi-layout document to a PDF file
A multi-layout document contains multiple documents, each in its own
layout, but the layouts are generated into a single PDF document. If a
document contains multiple layouts, tabs are displayed at the top of the
screen in PDF View. (See Layouts, page 23 for a further description and
example.)
When you export a multi-layout document to a PDF file, each layout starts on
a new page. You can instead choose to export only the current layout, instead
of all layouts. (The current layout is the layout selected in PDF View.)
If
the PDF will be viewed on a Kindle or Nook, you should expand all
layouts so that the Kindle or Nook user can view all the data.
