Thanks

I would like to second that request. Having some more control over the output would be useful. Export into Word document or other more edit friendly format would be great.

Maybe add more control for what it included in report. Allow us to choose which sections are in the output.

Thanks for all the hard work!

Hi Jeremiah,

Have a look at Adobe Acrobat DC. It allows you to A) edit PDF files and B) export them as Word documents.

Works like a charm.

it still a pain to convert PDF to word... it does not work like a charm.... you have multiple formats, headlines & bottomlines that can't be very edited....

I would really like a n export as WORD native file

SAV, I have that program and use it all of the time. The idea is that we would not be editing any processing report. The data needs to remain intact to prove integrity. The ability to select which sections are included and the format type on the front-end means that we can pass on unedited reports to clients and for our own technical analysis.

Hi Jeremiah,

Regarding integrity, how would you be able to proof that the Word document hasn't been altered/changed?

I guess Agisoft decided to export the their processing report as a PDF because it is 'more difficult' to edit compared to a standard Word document. But even a PDF can be changed with the right software, unless it is 'protected'.

But I agree, it would be nice to have the ability to select sections that should be included in the report for the costumer. A tool that let's you set up/customize the processing report template (e.g., insert own logo, etc) would be great and also streamline the whole process.

Even with Python scripting I don't think that it is possible to change the processing report.

I don't care much about WORD format, I would like PDF with selectable attributes. Thanks for your suggestion.
