Qlik SaaS is not allowing to export visualization as image or pdf.

Hi Community,

I have enabled export to true as mentioned below in my extension.

support: {
  snapshot: true,
  export: true,
  exportData: true,
}

It was working properly in Qlik Sense Enterprise but not in Qlik SaaS in which both image and pdf options are disabled. How do I enable the image and pdf option in Qlik SaaS?

Please share your thoughts to fix this.

Thanks,
Manoj Prabu

Hi @alex_colombo,

Thank you for the response. I checked the link that you shared, but that is not what I asked.

when I tried to open the download section in the context menu from my custom extension then it is showing the popup. but the Image and pdf options are disabled. How do I make the image and pdf option enabled?

Thanks,
Manoj Prabu

I was able to reproduce the issue, I'm checking internally.

Hi @Manoj_Prabu I can confirm that all export are disbaled for extensions in SaaS version, so it is working as designed.

Hi, would you be able to share what you did for it to work in Enterprise please? I have been trying to do this myself but could only export as data. I have not found anything for exporting images in API docs for Enterprise.

Could I ask if this is still true? I seem to be able to download native objects via the API, which is documented, but not custom objects. If these were disabled, surely it wouldn't work on native objects?
