We have to implement Reporting functionality.
This functionality requires next features from the list/Features:
- design number of reports
- generate per-designed reports by user requests with appropriate data
- download reports (word, excel, CVS, pdf)
We don't need preview, live design or anything like this.
I am looking in the price options:
On the first view it is enough Telerik Reporting (Feature-complete embedded reporting solution that enables you to create and export reports).
But, I have noticed that this plan doesn't include Telerik Document Processing (NET libraries for creation and manipulation of most commonly used file
formats (XLSX, CSV, DOCX, PDF, HTML, RTF, TXT, ZIP) without relying on
third-party software, such as Microsoft Office or
Adobe Reader.
).
I can't find a type of exports for Telerik Reporting and can't understand - do we need for Telerik Document Processing for our functionality and how to include it?

Hello,
Telerik Reporting is a powerful tool for designing reports and exporting them to different useful formats: Overview of the Available Export Formats. This functionality doesn't require the Telerik Document Processing libraries which is a separate toolkit offered by the Telerik family.
I would recommend you to have a look at the following help articles which give more information how to achieve the respective functionality with the Reporting product:
- Designing reports: Use Report Designers to create Telerik Reporting report definitions.
- Generate per-designed reports by user requests with appropriate data: Connecting to Data Overview and Generating Reports Locally with Code sections in the online documentation give useful information about populating the reports with data, processing the report and exporting it to the desired format.
Telerik Document Processing is a bundle of UI-independent cross-platform libraries that enable you to process the most commonly used flow, fixed and spreadsheet document formats for web and desktop. It may be suitable if you need to fine-tune the already exported PDF document from the report for example. In other words, if you need any further document manipulations once the report is exported to any of the output formats, you will need Telerik Document Processing. If not, you will be just fine with the Telerik Reporting product.
Please have in mind that Telerik Reporting is included in the DevCraft Complete and DevCraft Ultimate as well which licenses give you access to the Document Processing product along with other Telerik products that can improve the development experience according to your needs: Buy Telerik Reporting.
I hope you find this information helpful. Please, let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with.
