PDF (Portable Document Format) was introduced by Adobe as a standard for

representation of documents in a format that is independent from software,

hardware, or operating systems.

To export data to PDF:

1. In Object Explorer, right-click a database, point to Data Pump, and then

click Export Data.
2. On the Export format page, select the PDF export format or load export
options from a template file if you saved it previously. Click Next.

3. On the Source page, select a server connection, a database and its schema,
table(s) and view(s) that you want to export, and click Next.
4. On the Output settings page, you have two main options:
 Export data into separated files, where you specify the path to the
folder that they will be saved to.
 Export data into single file, where you specify the path and the file
name.
You will find the list of files to be exported in the Exported files preview box.
You can also enable three additional options:
 Append timestamp to the file name.
 Auto delete old files to auto-delete exported files that are older than a
specified number of days.
 Use compression (Zip) to create an archive file with your exported files.
Additionally, you can specify the compression level (No Compression, Best
Speed, Fast, Default, Good, or Maximum), add a comment, and encrypt
your archive with AES128 or AES256 encryption and specify a decryption
password.
If the destination folder does not exist, the application will prompt you to create
it. Click Yes to proceed.
5. On the Options page, you can set the table grid options for exported data:
text and background colors and fonts in Header and Rows, as well as width and
color of Borders. The results of your configuration are shown in Preview.
6. On the Data formats page, you have two auxiliary tabs. The first one
is Columns, where you can select columns for export and check their aliases and
data types.
The second one is Formats, where you can change the default format settings
for Date, Time, Date Time, Currency, Float, Integer, Boolean, Null String, as well
as select the required binary encoding from the drop-down list.
7. On the Page print settings page, you can configure the page size, orientation,
margins, header and footer text (including the option to repeat the table
header). You also get a preview of your configurations.
8. On the Exported rows page, you can select to export all rows, export the rows
selected on the Data formats page, or export a specified range of rows.
9. On the Errors handling page, you can specify the error processing behavior
(using one of the three available options: Prompt the user for an
action, Ignore all errors, or Abort at the first error) and opt to write reports to
a log file with a specified path.
Note
If you want to save your export settings as templates for recurring scenarios,
click Save Template.
10. Click Export. When your data export is completed, you have several options:
you can open the exported file or folder, perform another export operation,
view the log file, or simply click Finish.
