Volume computation results can be exported to a PDF using the New Publication command, creating a volume results report.
The publication is created using a publication template. A default volumes publication template, volume_publication_template.rpx, is provided with the application. This file is located at:
C:\ProgramData\CARIS\<application>\<version>\SampleData\
The publication objects for this template include the date relevant to the calculation and the XML file containing the volume computation results.
Refer to New Publication for information on the New Publication tool.
