Hello,

I am using smart pdf export app (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/4030/) .

when I am trying to export my dashboard, it stuck and won't generate pdf. My dashboard has 3-4 tables and couple of charts.

I have also increased row count in limits.conf.

limits.conf

[pdf]
max_rows_per_table = 50000

Tried with different browser as well but no luck. Is there anything we can do here ?

Hey, did you get a resolution to it as I am also facing the same issue. It gets stuck everytime I click on export button.

Why you are using an app to export into pdf. ? In Splunk, you can directly export it into pdf format.alt text

For the same reason this app is desinged for.

Default pdf export misses many GUI functionality.
for example: Table colors are removed, not all charts been exported ( Timeline chart etc...)

Smart pdf export exact snapshot of dashboard.

thanks but it doesn't seem to be working. Even though I have given full permission to this app and my app which has dashboard to export, it always display page not found (404 error).
