# Create a Report

Reports are generated from the saved editor data. A project has one **Open Report** action, available from the editor and from project cards when enough data is present.

The editor also provides **Download Excel** to export a workbook with one sheet per size, the section list, and formulas for calculating the total weight.

## DXF reports

For DXF projects, Pesipiuma generates the PDF from:

* Processed DXF geometry.
* Optional RUL grading.
* Saved sizes, pieces, and sections.
* Piece quantities, coefficients, rounding, and notes.
* Section labels and annotation edits.
* Target weight, when enabled.

Click **Open Report** in the editor to save pending edits and open the internal report viewer. The PDF is generated from the latest saved data when the viewer opens.

## Excel reports

For Excel projects, Pesipiuma generates the PDF from:

* Imported Excel area data.
* The selected base size.
* The report image.
* Saved label positions.
* Piece quantities, coefficients, rounding, and notes.
* Target weight, when enabled.

Excel projects need a report image before the report can be generated.

{% hint style="info" %}
Every report opening generates a fresh PDF from saved project data. Users with write access can save pending editor changes first; viewers can open the same fresh report from the data already saved.
