When I generate a PDF in Splunk 6.4, each panel is printed in a single page, so the entire layout is ignored and all the data is shown in 7 pages. This document is generated for my CIO, so I need all the panels in a single A4 page only!</P> <P>Like this post <A href="https://answers.splunk.com/answers/67071/new-pdf-generation-limitations.html">https://answers.splunk.com/answers/67071/new-pdf-generation-limitations.html</A>, this feature is missing.<BR /> I run actually Splunk 5.0.11 and plan to migrate to 6.4, but if I can't generate PDF files as my dashboards layout, the migration is compromised.</P> <P>Thanks.</P> <P>You can find the dashboard on the following link : <A href="https://answers.splunk.comstorage/temp/127171-sampledasboard-multiple-panels.zip">XML Dashboard File</A></P> Mon, 02 May 2016 12:33:50 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Is-it-possible-to-generate-a-PDF-of-a-full-dashboard-and-all-its/m-p/229293#M14205 o_calmels 2016-05-02T12:33:50Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Is-it-possible-to-generate-a-PDF-of-a-full-dashboard-and-all-its/m-p/229294#M14206 <P>I also have the same problem</P> Wed, 11 May 2016 15:15:37 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Is-it-possible-to-generate-a-PDF-of-a-full-dashboard-and-all-its/m-p/229294#M14206 vickylouis 2016-05-11T15:15:37Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Is-it-possible-to-generate-a-PDF-of-a-full-dashboard-and-all-its/m-p/229295#M14207 <P>Sounds like a job for phantomjs</P> Wed, 11 May 2016 19:39:02 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Is-it-possible-to-generate-a-PDF-of-a-full-dashboard-and-all-its/m-p/229295#M14207 jkat54 2016-05-11T19:39:02Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Is-it-possible-to-generate-a-PDF-of-a-full-dashboard-and-all-its/m-p/229296#M14208 <P>Have you tried this app : <A href="https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/2614/">https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/2614/</A><BR /> report-sender. <BR /> it uses phantomjs to export the page to pdf, casperjs to pass trough the splunk auth. <BR /> It requires using linux. <BR /> it really seems the easiest way to go. phantomjs can do pdf, so i guess the app could send pdf instead of png. i haven't tried though.</P> Wed, 18 May 2016 21:13:15 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Is-it-possible-to-generate-a-PDF-of-a-full-dashboard-and-all-its/m-p/229296#M14208 sduchene_splunk 2016-05-18T21:13:15Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Is-it-possible-to-generate-a-PDF-of-a-full-dashboard-and-all-its/m-p/229297#M14209 <P>Is this something which will be adressed in a future release in splunk?<BR /> Seriously right now the PDF´s are basically useless.

The PDF reports are so unstructured that the information is lost. We are, due to our use case, forced to export and store dashboards for later use and proof. Unfortunately Splunk is being questioned as useful, even if the Dashboards look ok when viewing them in Splunk. Any plans to improve this function?</P> Mon, 06 Mar 2017 09:47:29 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Is-it-possible-to-generate-a-PDF-of-a-full-dashboard-and-all-its/m-p/229300#M14212 etxsali 2017-03-06T09:47:29Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Is-it-possible-to-generate-a-PDF-of-a-full-dashboard-and-all-its/m-p/229301#M14213 <P>You can file an enhancement request by submitting a Priority 4 - Enhancement Request ticket at <A href="http://www.splunk.com/index.php/submit_issue">http://www.splunk.com/index.php/submit_issue</A> .</P> Mon, 06 Mar 2017 18:20:51 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Is-it-possible-to-generate-a-PDF-of-a-full-dashboard-and-all-its/m-p/229301#M14213 jkat54 2017-03-06T18:20:51Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Is-it-possible-to-generate-a-PDF-of-a-full-dashboard-and-all-its/m-p/229302#M14214 <P>We are currently working on solving these PDF issues, as well as allowing users to export reports and other views as PNGs.

I ran into same problem. I found that doing a print to adobe from the browser, in general, keeps the format of the dashboard. You have to play with the setting of adobe(landscape mode, proper paper size, margins) but it's gets pretty close. It was close enough for my needs. I did add some page breaks to the source data to create separation in certain spots so that it would separated things properly. You also need to play with how your dashboard is laid out. It's not elegant, but if you get it set once you should be able to use it week to week to get the pdf output . I just wish it was not so manual. Also there are some gotchas, different panel type displays react differently so you just have to be willing to do some trial and error to get it the way that is acceptable for you.</P> Thu, 08 Feb 2018 15:10:19 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Is-it-possible-to-generate-a-PDF-of-a-full-dashboard-and-all-its/m-p/229304#M14216 tkerriga 2018-02-08T15:10:19Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Is-it-possible-to-generate-a-PDF-of-a-full-dashboard-and-all-its/m-p/229305#M14217 <P>I'm also dealing with this issue - and the SmartPDF app doesn't work well with dashboards that have many panels.</P> Mon, 13 Aug 2018 18:32:21 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Is-it-possible-to-generate-a-PDF-of-a-full-dashboard-and-all-its/m-p/229305#M14217 Kendo213 2018-08-13T18:32:21Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Is-it-possible-to-generate-a-PDF-of-a-full-dashboard-and-all-its/m-p/229306#M14218 <P>Hi Emeelan,</P> <P>any update you have on this? is this feature request completed?</P> <P>Thank you</P> Wed, 09 Jan 2019 17:58:31 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Is-it-possible-to-generate-a-PDF-of-a-full-dashboard-and-all-its/m-p/229306#M14218 Navanitha 2019-01-09T17:58:31Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Is-it-possible-to-generate-a-PDF-of-a-full-dashboard-and-all-its/m-p/229307#M14219 <P>We are still working on this issue and it is considered a priority.
