Downloading current sheet as a PDF file

You can download the current sheet of a dashboard as a PDF file in Cloudera Data Visualization, with all visuals in the current sheet included on a single page. This is useful for sharing or archiving snapshots of individual sheets.

In the following example, you can see how to download the current sheet (sheet 1) of the dashboard.

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.
  1. In the Dashboard Designer top menu bar, click to open the supplemental menu.
  2. Click Download as... > PDF.

    You can reach the same action using the icon in the top-right corner of the dashboard.

  3. When the download is complete, open your browser’s default download folder.

    In this example, the generated filename, Test_dashboard_20250205135933.pdf, includes the following components:

    • Test_dashboard: Same as the visual name
    • 20250205: Date of download in YYYYMMDD format
    • 135933: Time of download in hhmmss format

    If the sheet name contains characters not supported by your file system (for example slashes), Cloudera Data Visualization replaces them automatically.
