We're not too far removed from the days when presentation-ready SAS® output meant lots of cutting and pasting or retyping. Now, the ODS PDF destination enables you to produce high quality output the first time, without other tools or applications.
This paper explores a number of ODS options in general and, more specifically, their use in creating PDF output. We will cover ODS ESCAPECHAR, which allows for inline formatting of titles, footnotes and other text; ODS LAYOUT, which lets you place output wherever you want it on the page - even output from more than one procedure; inline formatting in PROC REPORT; overlaying output from SAS/Graph procedures on top of other output and more.
We'll work from real life examples and see how you can produce output that looks like it took hours to create.
