Export PDF option does not work

simpkins1958 — Wed, 25 Oct 2017 22:52:53 GMT

The Export PDF link does not work from any of my dashboards. Clicking on Export PDF does nothing. Running Splunk Enterprise 7.0.

@simpkins1958, your Schedule PDF Delivery is disabled. By any chance are you using Dashboard with form input elements like dropdown etc. Can you try a copy of dashboard without the form elements and see if it works?

On the other hand I tried an basic form with one input and a Chart with Search results and although I had Scheduled PDF Delivery disabled, I was still able to Export the PDF. So you might have to share the content of your dashboard for us to help you out.

can you share your source code for any dashboard where "Export PDF" doesn't work? Just to double check, you're caring about "Export PDF" and not "Schedule PDF Delivery"?

Hi @simpkins1958

Hi,

Do you have permission to export? Also, which browser are you using? I'm also running Splunk 7.0 and the export PDF is working fine for me.

Thanks.

Hi @niketnilay and @mousumichowdhury

My export to pdf works well for the dashboard where i dont have any input elements like dropdown . But when i have those input elements then how to export them to PDF ?

Hi mousumi,
Can you please clarify if you have tried with dropdowns in your dashboard in splunk 7.0 as we are using 6.6.3 now.

Thanks.

I had similar issue and it looks like all dashboards with <init> tag have this issue, splunk version I am using is 7.0.3. @splunk any defects logged on this?

This seem to be an issue on 7.1 version also.

russelljesse — Thu, 28 Jun 2018 14:23:14 GMT

Can confirm this is not a permissions issue, as it does work on some of my dashboards and not others. As described by kyaparla temporarily removing the init tag on my dashboard that it does not work on then allows it to export to PDF. I am on version 7.0.3.4.
