Introduction

When generating PDF performance reports, if you select Download reports, all generated reports will be available for you to download on this page. If a generated report cannot be posted to a client portal, the generated report will be available on this page as well.

You see the following statuses on the PDF Report Status page:

Status Meaning
Completed Tamarac has finished generating the reports and they are ready to download.
Processing Tamarac is still generating the report. Processing may take a few minutes if you selected a large number of accounts.

If a report is generated and remains listed on the PDF Report Status page, the report template is considered to be in use. You will not be able to edit the template used to generate that report. Delete any generated reports from the PDF Report Status page to enable template editing. PDF batches drop off the PDF Report Status page after seven days if they are not deleted sooner.

Change the Number of Reports Zipped

When you generate PDF reports for a large number of accounts, Tamarac Reporting combines the individual PDF files in a ZIP file. In some cases, Tamarac Reporting adds 50 PDF files to each ZIP file. If you printed PDF reports for 200 accounts, Tamarac Reporting would then create four PDF files with 50 PDF files in each ZIP file.

You can change the number of report files that Tamarac Reporting adds to each ZIP file. For example, you may want to increase the number of PDF files in each ZIP file to 200. For details, see PDF Batch Size.
