BI Publisher and Crystal Reports Versus DOC 1

Using BI Publisher and Crystal Reports as your external reporting tool to display an online letter image differs from using DOC 1 printing software as follows:

• An extract file is not required when using BI Publisher or Crystal Reports. The sample reports provided to use with these external report tools do not have to extract information from another object to merge into a letter.
• Generating letters in batch is not supported yet.
