Have you talked to anybody at Splunk about this? There seems to be some traffic here in the Splunkbase concerning limitations. See these links:

Abhayneilam - sorry - have been out of the loop on 'real' work (lol). As Drainy says, post your xml here and peeps can do some deeper rooted analysis for you..

Hi Dave,

Its nice to have your answer, but the thing is that I have only 7 rows ( dashboard panels ) in my dashboard, 6 panels are coming in pdf but not the seventh one.

This surprises me a lot .. could you please let me know how it can be fixed or what can be done to get rid of this issue

Also, I am using 5.0.1 SPLUNK Version
