XML report modelbuilder, format

CharelvanDijk — Mon, 03 Feb 2025 10:08:06 GMT

We would like to use the export of the report in XML format for our quality documents. However, I can't get the XML file to be readable. In Notepad++, I see a lot of code and lose the nice layout. Are there other options?

your 2nd line is indicating that a "svg" scaleable vector graphic, representation is being represented in json format. Notepad++ can only show text not graphics.

Do you have an option to export to pdf?

In Pro, I have an export option to XML, but unfortunately not to PDF. Is there a way to read the XML in such a way that I can print it to a PDF? There is also an export to SVG, but then I lose all detailed information.

Thanks for the message and help! I've supported the idea. I'm still looking into how to take a screenshot of a scrolling screen. ShareX is not accepted here, and Greenshot can't do it. I'll continue searching.

I wonder if a free online xml formatting site could do it, as long as there isn't any sensitive info in the xml.

You could also post a xml excerpt on stack overflow and ask why notepad++ can't format it. Or ask the creators of notepad++.
