Export sheet to pdf using automation issue

random_user_3869 — Wed, 09 Mar 2022 16:12:56 GMT

Hello,

When using automation to generate a pdf based on a sheet window i get this

(using KPI object #1)

I don't see the border

Unlike when i do export to pdf in the sheet option.

Is it normal that in this case i get the border

thank you for everything.

Hi @random_user_3869 ,

Are you using a theme in your report?

When it comes to reports' layout, the functionality of the Reporting connector in Qlik Application Automation is still limited. One of the limitations is that there is no support for themes (yet).

Kind regards,
Emile

Thanks for the various posts and feedback on your reporting experience @random_user_3869 . @Emile_Koslowski is accurate on the likely difference. There are a few updates I shared here https://community.qlik.com/t5/Reporting-Service/Multi-page-subscriptions-amp-Burst-reports-to-SharePoint/td-p/1898732 but I also confirmed that we are working on improvements to the PDF report results at the moment - stay tuned!
