Downloading current sheet with one visual per page as a PDF file

CDP Data Visualization enables you to download the current sheet as a PDF file with each visual on a separate page.

In the following example, we show how to download a *.pdf file with each visual of the current sheet on a separate page.
Before you download the dashboard as a PDF file, under Settings, navigate to the General menu, and select the Enable "Download as Image/PDF" option.
  1. Open any dashboard. In this example, we are using the PDF Export dashboard with two visuals.
    Displaying the current sheet in the PDF Export dashboard
  2. Click the (ellipsis) icon at the top left corner of the interface.
  3. Click Download as..., select PDF from the secondary menu, and then select One visual per page on current sheet.
    Selecting the (ellipsis) icon at the top of the interface, clicking Download as..., and then selecting one visual per page on current sheet option from the secondary menu

    A Generating the requested file screenshot message appears.

  4. After the download is complete, open the default download folder on your computer. CDP Data Visualization saves the current sheet to a *.pdf file.

    In our example, the generated filename, PDF Export_20190205142003, has the following components:

    • PDF Export

      Same name as the dashboard

    • 20190205

      Signifies the date the file is created, in YYYYMMDD format

    • 142003

      Signifies the time the file is created, in hhmmss format

    Generated a *.pdf file of the dashboard showing the current sheet with each visual on a separate page, file name, same as the name of the dashboard, and the timestamp when the file is created.

    The filename is the same as the name of the dashboard, and has a timestamp specifying the date and time when the file is created. Each visual in the current sheet is on a separate page.
