Downloading a visual as a PDF file

Cloudera Data Visualization allows you to download a PDF snapshot of a visual for sharing or offline viewing. The name of the downloaded file reflects the name of the visual and includes a timestamp indicating when the file was created.

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. Click the icon in the top-right corner of the visual and select Download as... > PDF.

    A message appears: Generating the requested file and Cloudera Data Visualization saves the visual as a PDF file.

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

    In this example, the generated file name, Table_Visual_20250714093845.pdf, has the following components:

    • Table_Visual: Same as the visual name
    • 20250714: Date of download in YYYYMMDD format
    • 093845: Time of download in hhmmss format
    If the visual name contains characters not supported by your file system (for example slashes), Cloudera Data Visualization replaces them automatically. For example:
    • Original visual name: Table/Visual
    • Generated file name: Table_Visual_20250714093845.pdf (Forward slash / is replaced with an underscore _)
