I'm looking for a little support on a RFE submitted to IBM.
When you run a report in Maximo 7.1.x, you get the report in a separate pop-up screen. When you export the report, your given a list of file options, with PowerPoint (PPT) as the first choice. Most users don't export to PowerPoint on a regular basis, so I'm requesting that either PDF be the first file format listed or allow a setting to decide what the default file format should be.
A link to the RFE is listed below. Please review the RFE and vote on it.

Hi Jason,
I don't know what reasons they had to select PPT as a first option. Our users are using PDF or XLS format.
You know that you can set default output format from HTML to PDF with using __format parameter, right?

Yes, but that will require modifying every report... which is something I'm trying to avoid. My other concerns is that the parameter change won't work on QBR/Ad-Hoc reports as far as I can tell.
Have you been able to use it on QBR reports too?
