As far as I can see, the project’s Report Generator settings for PDF and HTML reports are saved inside the project, in the files properly named “Pdf_reportoptions.xml” and “HTML_reportoptions.xml”.
Unfortunately, the settings for Word report aren’t saved in its own file – they go into the “Pdf_reportoptions.xml” file, overwriting all previously saved PDF settings, particularly “Encoding”.
(BTW, it would be very convenient if the default report encoding settings were specified on the general settings tab, like a “user language” option.)
Thank you for your post. I’ve tried to repeat the problem of report generation settings but not successful. Would you mind giving me more details such as steps to repeat the problem? Thanks in advance!
(FYI, the settings are stored in project as well as workspace. If you open different projects in same workspace, it takes effect on the setting)
For the user language option (which can be found st Tools > Options… and then General > Appearance), it controls the UI only. But the encoding in report generation setting are the languages supported in report. There is no definite nor direct relationship between these two options.
If there are any inquiries, please feel free to contact me again.
Apparently, that was a false alarm. Thank you for trying that out, and sorry for your trouble.
Unfortunately, I don’t remember particular steps that led to the problem, and I haven’t retained the faulty project. But I saw with my own eyes how my Word report settings enclosed in the “” tag appeared in PDF_reportoptions.xml file in the project!
Haste makes waste. I had sent the message in a hurry instead of properly collecting all the facts.
