Dynamic TIMESTAMP book PDF

annalisa_carado — Mon, 30 Jan 2017 09:21:25 GMT

hello,

i'm creating reports using the fuction Report of Qlikview.

I added the timestamp to the first page of the report, but when I send it as attached, i have a static name (Report.pdf, for example)

i need to know if it is possible to change the name of pdf (and the mail object) concatenating the timestamp, for example :

Report_2017_01.pdf

Thanks in advance.

Annalisa

You might need a different approach with macros for it. something like this:

Print Report to PDF with open source PDFCreator

Re: PDF erstellen mit PDF-XChange 3.0

and if there are bigger requirements on printing/exporting anything Qlik NPrinting might be a consideration.

i can't use Nprinting and i hope in a solution on Qlik Management Console for example using vaariables.

The qmc won't be directly useful for it because the report-generation happens on the client-level and not on the server-side whereby you could use the qmc to trigger macro print-tasks (again not directly because the qmc didn't execute macros but with an EXECUTE statement within a qvw could be command-line- or vbs-batch triggerred which called the print-application within the desktop-client: Re: Run qvw from batch.
