NPrinting offers far more than just QlikView reports. It can automatically schedule tasks such as QV reloads and also send the output to folders or email accounts in a number of different formats. Not only can it pick up existing QV reports but can also send data as Word, Excel or Powerpoint documents that your users may be more familiar with. It is also a much cheaper option to QlikView Publisher.
I tried NPrinting, but it seems to only be able to export images of QlikView objects (PowerPoint 2013). Is there a way to embed QV objects and maintain interactivity without being in a Qlikview Server environment?
No, I'm afraid NPrinting does not enable QlikView functionlity within a Microsoft product. I think QlikTech would flip out if they found their functionality could be maintained without need for a QlikView licence.
You do need QlikView to maintain the functionality. Sometimes it is worth querying whether the recipient genuinely needs the ability to utilise QlikView strengths to dynamically drill through and analyse the data or are they more interested in the bottom line. If the latter, it can be far cheaper to have NPrinting pump out static reports to Powerpoint/Excel/Word so that the user can tweek it in a familiar environment than to pay for doc or user CALs for every recipient. Of course, this depends on the number of recipients of the data.
