File Formats
- 2 minutes to read
The file formats supported by Snap Report API are divided into the following categories.
Native Document Format (SNX)
The Snap native document format (.SNX) is a report template which stores the layout without the actual data.
Do not save a report template in any other format if you do not intend to drop Snap-specific features. When a document is saved in format other than SNX, Snap fields are replaced with their values and data connection information is removed.
Supported Document Formats for Import
Report templates can be built upon the document loaded by Snap Report API.
A SnapControl can load a document in the following file format.
- DOC (Microsoft® Word® 97 – 2003 document);
- DOCX (Office® Open XML document);

- MHTML / MHT (Web archive, single file);
- RTF (Rich Text Format);
- TXT (Plain text);
- ODT (OpenDocument text document);
