The reporting tool creates PDF, HTML, RTF, DOCX (Word), XLSX (Excel) and XLS (Excel) files based on items currently present in the view.

Note that the drop-down box with the Reports can be extended with your own. The reports are JasperSoft Report files. There is a report creation guide available to help you in creating your very own reports. You will need to install the JasperSoft Design Studio which is a free tool.
