- Auto-Detect: Choose this option to force reports to render using the Schooltool Report Viewer when possible, but if for whatever reason the user???s browser does not have the ability to auto-install the schooltool print control that the viewer needs, reports will be instead be rendered in the PDF format.
- PDF: Reports will always render as PDF (users may print reports by using the standard Print menu directly from the PDF reader).
- Report Viewer (default value): Reports will always render in the Schooltool Report Viewer - depending on a users browser settings, some users may need to convert reports to PDF before printing.
- Auto-Detect: Choose this option to force reports to render using the Schooltool Report Viewer when possible, but if for whatever reason the user???s browser does not have the ability to auto-install the schooltool print control that the viewer needs, reports will be instead be rendered in the PDF format.
