That is really unfortunate because customers want that functionality.</P> <P>If I am not mistaken the only option I have is to rebuild those dashboards I need as PDF reports in Simple XML (as far as that is possible) and then use the Simple XML for reports. That of course means that part of the work needs to be done twice.</P> <P>Is my assumption correct? What is the best practice regarding HTML dashboards and PDF reports?</P> Thu, 27 Mar 2014 23:57:25 GMT helge 2014-03-27T23:57:25Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Reporting/Web-framework-apps-and-PDF-reports/m-p/110378#M2544 <P>I know that I cannot generate PDFs of HTML aka web framework dashboards (documented <A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.1.2/Viz/DashboardPDFs#Limitations_to_PDF_generation">here</A>).

These SimpleXML pages will still support PDF reports. My suggestion would be to build the pages required for PDF using SimpleXML. </P> Fri, 28 Mar 2014 12:10:42 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Reporting/Web-framework-apps-and-PDF-reports/m-p/110379#M2545 mgroves_splunk 2014-03-28T12:10:42Z
