Exporting content to PostScript format

When you export content to PostScript format, the PostScript emitter displays the content in the output file, almost exactly the same way as it appears when printed. The PostScript emitter provides the same options as the PDF emitter, with two exceptions:

The option to export SVG images as vector graphics is not supported.

The option to embed fonts from the report being exported is not supported.
