Why each option
To create sales invoices that can be exported to PDF with all data visible, a paginated report is the ideal solution.
Paginated reports are designed for pixel-perfect printing and exporting to fixed-layout formats like PDF, ensuring all rows and columns of a tablix (a flexible data region) are displayed clearly on the exported document. This is ideal for traditional documents like invoices that require precise layout and complete data visibility for printing.
Dashboards are collections of visualizations designed for at-a-glance monitoring and do not offer the pixel-perfect layout control required for print-ready documents like invoices.
Interactive reports are primarily designed for on-screen data exploration and may not render all rows and columns clearly when exported to PDF, especially for large datasets, as they focus on interactive filtering and drilling.
Similar to an interactive report with a table, an interactive report with a matrix also focuses on on-screen interaction and may not guarantee clear, complete rendering of all data in a fixed-layout PDF export.
