Downloading all sheets as one PDF file

You can download the entire dashboard as a single PDF file in Cloudera Data Visualization, with each sheet rendered on a separate page.

When you download all dashboard sheets as a single PDF file, Cloudera Data Visualization captures all visuals from all sheets, the titles and subtitles of the sheets and visuals, and any dashboard filters defined. If the visuals contains annotations, they are also included in the image.

In the following example, you can see how to download sheet 1 and sheet 2 of the dashboard on separate pages.

Before you download the visual as a PDF file, make sure the download feature is enabled in site settings. For instructions, see Snapshots in Managing dashboard site settings.

Open the dashboard.
In this example, the Test dashboard dashboard has two sheets.
Click in the top-right corner of the dashboard to open the supplemental menu.
Select Download as... > PDF > One sheet per page.

This action initiates the download of the dashboard and a message appears: Generating the requested file. Cloudera Data Visualization saves the dashboard sheets to a multi-page PDF file, with each sheet on a separate page in the output.
When the download is complete, open your browser’s default download folder.
The filename is the same as the name of the dashboard, and it has a timestamp specifying the date and time when the file is created. Each sheet of the dashboard is on a separate page.

In this example, the generated filename, Test_dashboard_20190205142719.pdf, includes the following components:
- Test_dashboard: Same as the dashboard name
- 20190205: Date of download in YYYYMMDD format
- 142719: Time of download in hhmmss format
If the dashboard name contains characters not supported by your file system (for example slashes), Cloudera Data Visualization replaces them automatically. For example:
- Original dashboard name: PDF/Export
- Generated file name: PDF Export_20190205142719.pdf (Forward slash / is replaced with a space.)
