Easily add fields and controls via drag & drop,

Preview changes directly with data from Dynamics 365 Business Central,

Use advanced controls, including Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), Subreports, Shapes, Charts and Rich Text.

With the Document Creator Dataset Extensions feature it is possible to add columns, labels and data items directly from the client. No need to develop any report(extension) objects just to add fields to existing reports.

Document Creator includes a Report Translations feature which supports the development of multilingual reports adding translations as data. Running reports that utilize this feature will automatically populate the translation table with new records for missing translations. Report translations can be flexibly edited by end-users on the Document Creator Translations page.

On top of that, Document Creator Export Profiles can be used to fine-tune export settings for reports with a Document Creator layout. Export reports as interactive PDF forms, change the quality of images and vector graphics, or apply PDF stationeries or appendices to your PDF documents.
