In Reporting Studio, you must first save the reports as a snapshot if you wish to print-preview the contents of cell documents.

Reports containing cell documents can be saved through Reporting Studio as Snapshot output. You can use the Save option to save the report as a snapshot in the repository. The cell documents are attached to the end of the report.

In Workspace, you can view reports containing cell documents in PDF or HTML output:

PDF output. You use the Export option to save the report in a PDF file outside the repository. The cell documents are attached to the end of the report.
HTML output. You use the Save or Save As option to save the report into the repository. The cell documents are stored with hyperlinks to the report.

To attach cell documents:

In Reporting Studio, create or select a report that uses a Financial Management or Oracle Essbase data source in the database connection.
Select a data type cell in a grid. On the Cell Properties sheet, select the Retrieve Cell Documents check box.
Note:
For optimum retrieval performance, select Retrieve Cell Documents only for cells with attachments to include in the report.
If cell documents exist for the selected cell, they are appended to the report when printed.
