In TValue 6, the export to Excel is now nicely formatted so you can send it to a non TValue user or you can customize. If you want to get more creative with the Excel schedule and you don't want the formatting, you can export to CSV. In CSV, you can customize the schedule as needed and then save as an .xlsx worksheet. You have two options to export TValue schedules to work with. 

In TValue 6, you can copy cells from Excel and paste them into TValue 6. The key is you have to have an event, date, and amount for each line item and the evant, date, and amount have to be in the same order as they are in TValue 6 but if you do that, it is pretty clean and easy to do. 

You do not have this capability in TValue Online yet nor in TValue 5. You can only export files into Excel, Word, comma delimited files, tab delimited files, and XML files.

TValue 6 and TValue Online both have options to print directly to a PDF and also to email the PDF schedule to an associate or colleague. 

TValue 5 does not have the capability to create PDF files directly. However, there are a number of freely available printer drivers that can allow you to send your printed amortization schedules directly to a PDF file. One such program is called PDFCreator and is available at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/. While we are aware of a number of customers who have used this program successfully to generate PDF files directly from TValue software, TimeValue Software does not produce or support these programs.

Yes you can, however, each browser handles the creation and printing of PDFs in their own fashion so the commands may be slightly different. We recommend that you use the browser settings to determine where the files will be saved. 

You have the flexibility to save locally or in the cloud with TValue Online. You can even disable cloud access so all files are saved to the local location of your choice.
