SaaS PDF Report Automation

Stig — Thu, 21 Jul 2022 10:39:25 GMT

I have an automation to generate PDF's of a QS sheet, looped by supplier with a new document per supplier. This is acting effectively as an invoice generator. Due to the layout and design of the document required I need to generate the PDF using the sheet, not just individual objects.

This works well and does the job except that each supplier is printing onto a single page in the PDF - the clients requirements for the document require in some instances a lot of information, which when squeezed onto a single page make it almost unreadable.

Is there a way to make each document multipage so that it prints at 100% scale to generate the PDF.

Hi @Stig,

We are already aware of this requirement. Unfortunately, we export only the visible portion of data via reporting. Due to this reason it's not possible to include multiple-page report at this time. We have a Ideation page where ideas like this can be [presented to our Product management team and it's being already suggested: https://community.qlik.com/t5/Suggest-an-Idea/Real-Multi-Page-Reports/idi-p/1953397 (feel free to upvote to get this highlighted more)

You could try with loop & select over values of a certain field to spread the records across multiple report pages. Below is the video guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPtVfL79QSM&ab_channel=QlikHelp

I hope this helps!
