    Reporting and Printing

    SpiceLogic AHP Software can create two report types: PDF and Excel. Open the Reporting menu to find the report commands.

    AHP Software Reporting menu opened to show the three export commands: Diagram Image, Excel report, and PDF report for the current AHP model.

    Edge Case

    If you just started the application and have not created a model yet, there is nothing to report. If you click the PDF reporting button at that point, the software shows a message like the one below.

    AHP Software warning dialog shown when the PDF Report button is clicked without any model loaded, telling the user there is nothing to report.

    Print Preview and Printing

    AHP Software can show a print preview by opening a built-in PDF viewer with the generated PDF report. You can find Print Preview in the File menu.

    AHP Software File menu expanded to show the Print Preview command that opens the built-in PDF viewer hosting the generated report.

    One practical note: the Print Preview window may require the application to run as administrator.

    Windows Start menu search result for AHP Software with the right-click 'Run as administrator' option highlighted, the elevation required for the built-in Print Preview window to load.

    If Windows shows an error asking you to open the application as administrator, you can still create the PDF report from the Reporting menu. That PDF is effectively your print preview, and you can print it from your normal PDF viewer.

    The File menu also has a Print command. If that command gives an error, create the PDF report and print from the PDF viewer instead.
