The properties of the exported document can be set without previewing the report, as explained in this section.

PDF

The following code specifies export settings for PDF.

function load() {
            var ARJS = GC.ActiveReports.Core;
            var PDF = GC.ActiveReports.PdfExport;

            var onProgressCallback = function (pageCount) {
                console.log(pageCount);
            }

            var settings = {
                info: {
                    title: 'Invoice List',
                    subject: 'This is the Invoice List',
                    author: 'John K',
                    keywords: 'PDF; import; export'
                },
                security:
                {
                    userPassword: 'user_Pwd',
                    ownerPassword: 'owner_Pwd',
                    permissions: {
                        printing: 'lowResolution',
                        modifying: true,
                        annotating: true,
                        copying: true,
                        contentAccessibility: false,
                        documentAssembly: false
                    }
                },
                pdfVersion:"1.5",
                autoPrint: true,
                fonts: [
                    
                    {
                        name: 'SimSun-ExtB',
                        source: '/fonts/simsunb.ttf'
                    },
                    {
                        name: 'Matura MT Script Capitals',
                        source: '/fonts/MATURASC.TTF',
                    },
                    {
                        name: 'Stencil',
                        source: '/fonts/STENCIL.ttf'
                    }
                ]

            }
            var pageReport = new ARJS.PageReport();
            pageReport.load('/reports/InvoiceList.rdlx-json')
                .then(() => pageReport.run())
                .then(pageDocument => PDF.exportDocument(pageDocument, settings, onProgressCallback))
                .then(result => result.download('InvoiceList'));

        }

Note:

• The default PDF Version (1.3) allows setting only 4 base types of permissions: printing, modifying, copying, and annotating. All other permissions need PDF 1.4+.
• Document assembly is always displayed as "Not allowed" in the Adobe Acrobat Reader (and possibly in other reader applications), as this application does not allow combining documents at all. The Adobe Acrobat should show the real state of assembly permission.

Excel

The following code specifies export settings for Excel.

function load() {
            var ARJS = GC.ActiveReports.Core;
            var Excel = GC.ActiveReports.XlsxExport;

            var onProgressCallback = function (pageCount) {
                console.log(pageCount);
            }

            var settings = {
                info: {
                    creator: 'Jack'
                },
                sheetName: 'Sheet_Details',
                pageSettings: {
                    size:'A4',
                    orientation: 'landscape'
                },
                password: 'password'
            }
            var pageReport = new ARJS.PageReport();
            pageReport.load('/reports/InvoiceList.rdlx-json')
                .then(() => pageReport.run())
                .then(pageDocument => Excel.exportDocument(pageDocument, settings, onProgressCallback))
                .then(result => result.download('InvoiceList'));
        }

HTML

The following code specifies export settings for HTML.

function load() {
            var ARJS = GC.ActiveReports.Core;
            var HTML = GC.ActiveReports.HtmlExport;

            var onProgressCallback = function (pageCount) {
                console.log(pageCount);
            }

            var settings = {
                autoPrint: true,
                multiPage: true,
                renderOptions: {
                    galleyMode: true //property available only through API
                }
            }

            var pageReport = new ARJS.PageReport();
            pageReport.load('/reports/InvoiceList.rdlx-json')
                .then(() => pageReport.run())
                .then(pageDocument => HTML.exportDocument(pageDocument, settings, onProgressCallback))
                .then(result => result.download('InvoiceList'));

        }
