Output Formats

JasperReports and JasperServer do not have the native ability to export reports as Microsoft Word documents (except for RTF format that uses positioned items), but by using Aspose.Words for JasperReports, you will get access to the following additional export formats:

• DOC – Word document
• DOCX – Office Open XML (OOXML) document
• RTF – Rich Text Format
• ODT – OpenDocument Text 
• HTML – Web page
• TXT – Plain text

Easy and Lightweight Deployment

Aspose.Words for JasperReports is written purely in Java and is provided as a single JAR file that can easily be deployed on machines running JasperReports or JasperServer.

To install Aspose.Words for JasperReports, simply copy the JAR file to the correct folder. To integrate with JasperServer you need to edit a JasperServer configuration file.

High Fidelity, Identical to the Report Design

Aspose.Words for JasperReports exports reports to Microsoft Word documents in such a way that they appear identical to the original report design as produced by the built-in JasperReports report designer. All report features are converted to the highest degree of precision to make your Microsoft Word documents look as close to the original design as possible.

Editable Documents

Aspose.Words for JasperReports exports flow layout documents. This means documents consist of “normal” paragraphs, tables and images that are easy to further edit in Microsoft Word, if necessary.

The built in JasperReports RTF exporter produces documents consisting of positioned text frames and that makes editing by end users a less intuitive task.
