Hello,

We use BES 7.0.9.164 and I have the below questions.

  1. How can I use the added support for PDF generation to Web Reports, which was noted as enhancement in BES 7.0.9.110 here http://support.bigfix.com/bes/changes/fullchangelist-7.0.txt

  2. If I can save the web report as pdf file, does this functionality apply to any type of web report? Can I use the Email Report to email the pdf?

  3. How can I use the added custom header and foot capabilities to Web Reports pages, which was an enhancement in BES 7.0.9.164?

  4. The printable version of the web report doesn’t display the report title correctly it the title contains quotes, such as the Retrieved Property “Active Directory Path” single property report. It shows “Retrieved Property “Active Directory Path”” Is this a bug?

Thanks,

Peter

This should answer your questions:

Hopefully soon we can automate some of these instructions because they are a little annoying (although it is a one-time setup).
