You can generate the following picture formats: TIFF (TIF), BMP, GIF, JPEG (JPG), PNG, EMF. The TIFF supports multiple pages so the whole report gets converted to a single file. For other output formats one file per page is created - the file name is taken from the tcFilename parameter with _%PAGENO%.

The following table shows the mapping between extended parameters and the parameters of the SavePicture() method.
