Hi,

May I know whether we can generate reports in .txt format using BIRT?
Also is it possible to convert pdf and xls files to txt format using BIRT
or is BIRT supports any such mechanism?

Regards,
Shomy Jose

Shomy,

Straight to text is not supported. You could go to a Word doc and from there
save as text. That or you could build an emitter.

BIRT and Eclipse being opensource, I would prefer to go to the real open
document ODF-format then, making use of the Open Source program found at
http://www.openoffice.org
Is that possible as well?

Henk-Peter,

It is possible, but there is not currently a emitter that does that. It
would probably be easier to just right a straight to text emitter. The issue
becomes, how do you format the straight text output? Maybe you could provide
some more insight into what you want the emitter format to look like?

Henk-Peter,

One option would be to take the existing plug-in org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.wpml
and modify it to be a text only or a word open doc format. If you look in
the WpmlWriter class is used to write the document. It seems possible that
through modification of the WpmlWriter you could end up with the output that
you would like.
