The **Available layouts** tree loads, with borehole log layouts under **1 - Borehole logs** and CPT/parameter layouts under **2 - Parameter vs depth**. Confirm whether you are working with a **borehole** or **CPT data** before choosing a layout - they use different layouts (and exist in Metric and USCU unit-system variants).

### Step 2: Generate a borehole report Choose a borehole log layout (for example, **Geotech soil log (A4 landscape) - Metric**) and verify the preview: the log, strata descriptions, and header metadata all render from the database.

### Step 3: Generate a CPT report For CPT data, choose a CPT layout (for example, **CPT Classification Robertson 1986 Density - Metric**) and verify the preview the same way.

### Step 4: Select the objects to output and open print preview Drag the objects you want to output into **Objects to display** - you can drag the whole **All objects** node to queue every borehole at once. Then open the print preview and review before exporting.

### Step 5: Export the reports as PDF Open the export menu and choose **Create a PDF per object**. This produces one PDF per borehole - the format the attachment workflow expects.

### Step 6: Verify the exported PDF files Open the destination folder and confirm one PDF exists per object. Note the naming: a `/` in the object name becomes `_` in the file name (`BH12/CPT12` becomes `BH12_CPT12.PDF`) - this matters when [attaching reports in ArcGIS Pro](/integrations-and-plug-ins/overview/attach-reports.md).

### Step 7: Repeat for additional projects or areas Generate and export reports for the remaining areas the same way, keeping one folder per project so the files stay easy to find and batch-attach.

## Optional settings * **Layout variants** - borehole vs. CPT layouts, each in Metric and USCU unit systems; match the layout to the object type. * **Print preview** - review before export to avoid rework; confirm the destination folder afterwards. *** ## Working with reports Drag the whole **All objects** node into *Objects to display* to report an entire project in one run. **Create a PDF per object** produces exactly the per-borehole files the [Attach Reports](/integrations-and-plug-ins/overview/attach-reports.md) workflow consumes, and one-folder-per-project keeps batch attachment simple. When reporting multiple areas, verify each folder individually so no files go missing.

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.geodin.com/integrations-and-plug-ins/overview/generate-reports.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
