The Report Data Web Service

If the reports are binary or AFP, the Report Data Web Service returns pages of a report or the entire report. A Text report can be returned in an XML attachment or in native data formats. Binary and AFP reports are returned as attachments. Support for page range selection varies by report type; AFP and distributed reports (binary) do not support retrieval by page numbers while text reports do. Support for AFP to PDF transformation with a new report type, AFP2PDF, has been introduced in this release.
