Understanding Actuate My Documents portlet

The Actuate My Documents portlet displays documents and report executable files in a specified folder with links for viewing the document files and running the report executable files as you browse. Choosing a document activates the Documents link, opening the report in a viewer in a separate browser window. Choosing a report executable file activates the synchronous report request page in the same browser window. The generated report document opens in a viewer in a separate browser window.

The viewer supports all functionality, including page navigation, table of contents, and depending on the document type, interactive viewing or SmartSearch. Table 3-6 lists and describes Actuate My Documents parameters.
