Excel Table + Images >>> Polished HTML Report

[zealot777]

Hello!)

I need you to help me decide what is the best way to distribute daily technical reports.


I have a report in the excel format which contains of 5 sections with no images (each section is on a separate tab). Each section has 5 large charts assigned to it and which are stored separately.

I need to be able to present this information to my users online.

I have for now two options of doing this:

1) export separate sheets of the excel report into separate HTML files – embed those into a single HTML file in Dreamweaver and include the external images so that everything is presented in a single large HTML page.

2) Link separate sections of the report and the images to an indesign document so that all of these are placed on their own single page. Export the whole report as a PDF file.

I wish to present this report in a closed, password protected section of my website to a few of my clients. Which do you think of the above two ways is the best to present these reports?

I am concerned with the ease of sharing the PDF files online but of course someone can print a webpage to PDF if they like and do that as well.

I will be happy to hear any opinion!
