# 10. Exporting reports

Inforiver provides options such as pagination, header & footer, and report layouts, which allow you to build and export highly formatted & interactive paginated reports.

This section will cover everything you need to know about PDF and Excel exports of paginated reports, whether via downloads or ad hoc emails, as well as how to use snapshots to further leverage them.

**1. Export to PDF/Excel** - You can perform formatted exports to Excel and PDF while retaining the report layout, cell values & number formatting, notes & annotations, and more. To learn more, refer to [Export to PDF & Excel.](/working-with-inforiver/10.-exporting-reports/export.md)

**2. Ad hoc emails** - Inforiver allows you to send ad hoc, formatted PDF/Excel exports of the report via email to specific recipients, including external stakeholders. To learn more, refer to [Ad hoc emails](/working-with-inforiver/10.-exporting-reports/ad-hoc-emails.md).

**3. Snapshots** - Snapshots are read-only versions that can be used to freeze the data at month-end accounting/financial closes for future comparisons that are not impacted by source data changes and dataset refreshes. To learn more, refer to [snapshots](/working-with-inforiver/10.-exporting-reports/snapshot-writeback-matrix-only.md).
