Use the exportOptionsDef element to define an Export Options dialog, which allows users to set options for exporting a presentation to a file.

Note: To invoke the Export Options dialog, insert a dialogLinkDef element in the UIX page that contains the presentation that you want to export. You can render the dialogLinkDef element as an Export button or link.

Attributes

id -- (Required) A unique identifier for this element.

scope -- Determines the accessibility and lifetime of the object; select one of the following values: Request or Session (Default). You must use the default value if you want to be able to refer to this element from a different page in your application.

presentationId -- Specifies the identifier of the presentationDef element for the presentation that you want to export; usually this attribute is initialized by the dialogLinkDef element. If you specify this attribute explicitly, then the identifier must be contained in the current page.

In a BLAF application, you can use a BIPageButtonBar to define both buttons.
