# Data export versus PDF reports

# Data export versus PDF reports

Data export and PDF reports serve different purposes: one supports Rinci data flows and the other is for reading.

## How it works

1. Data export creates a Rinci data file for transfer or backup.
2. Report export creates a PDF for reading or sharing.
3. The import flow accepts Rinci JSON files; PDF and CSV files cannot be imported through that flow.

## What to know

The import flow accepts Rinci JSON. Report PDFs and CSV files are not supported as import files in this flow.
