System Reports - Changing the order (HTML,PDF,XLS) that reports are generated, ensuring PDF displays OK

Troubleshooting


Problem

When a user runs a 'standard report' (also known as 'system report') they are displayed (by default) in HTML format. HTML reports do not show any controls which the end-user can use to save or print the report. Therefore, users may prefer to see the report as a PDF file which gives them these controls. Are there any tips and tricks for end users to work smarter with these reports? How can the end user change the default standard report format?
