RDF (Report Definition) files are spreadsheets of data usually created by Oracle Database. If you want to share your spreadsheet data with someone else who doesn't have Excel or Oracle Database, or if you want to distribute data in such a way that people viewing the file cannot make any changes to it, a PDF file is a common and popular choice. Converting an RDF file to a PDF takes just a few minutes using Microsoft Excel.
Step 1
