How to create a pdf with QlikView

Tue, 27 Nov 2012 19:32:24 GMT

Hi,

I have created a dashboard that we would like to use to create a pdf that can be sent out to our company that quickly summarizes the dashboard. I understand that this can be done with publisher, but I'm struggling with how to get my graphs and tables into the pdf. Does anyone have a quick step by step process on how to build a pdf. I think the work is supposed to be done in the dropdown for reports, but I'm lost on how to get the data/charts/tables into the report.

Has anyone come across this?

Thanks!

Hi Pilrim 11,

you can use macro to export into pdf.

Here is the macro which you need to modify according to your requirements.

Sub SaveToPDF()

With ActiveDocument

.ExportAsFixedFormat OutputFileName:=GetFolder & "\" & Split(.Name, ".")(0) & ".pdf", _

ExportFormat:=wdExportFormatPDF, OpenAfterExport:=False, _

OptimizeFor:=wdExportOptimizeForPrint, Range:=wdExportAllDocument, _

Item:=wdExportDocumentContent, IncludeDocProps:=True, KeepIRM:=True, _

CreateBookmarks:=wdExportCreateNoBookmarks, DocStructureTags:=True, _

BitmapMissingFonts:=True, UseISO19005_1:=False

End With

End Sub

hope this helps.

thanks

Meher
