Export Data, Image and Pdf from Qlik Sense September 2018 Capability API

[Yianni_Ververis]

In every new Qlik Sense release, we see some cool additions and features that make our life easier. All of the major ones, are discussed here, https://community.qlik.com/blogs/qlikproductinnovation/2018/09/11/qlik-sense-september-2018-has-arri...‌, but for those that work a lot with the Capability Api, there are 3 very much desired and long expected features: exportData, exportImg and exportPdf. With these, you can export any embedded object from your mashup in the above formats. You can also customize them by passing the desired options.

Below are the links to the help files so you can experiment more.

i am not able to export as PDF or IMAGE, but i am able to export the data to excel i need to implement other export feature as well it will be great if you and others can help me on this issue.

Same error is coming for IMG also

My simple test code

var prefix = window.location.pathname.substr(0, window.location.pathname.toLowerCase().lastIndexOf("/extensions") + 1);
var config = {
	host: window.location.hostname,
	prefix: prefix,
	port: window.location.port,
	isSecure: window.location.protocol === "https:"
};
require.config({
	baseUrl: (config.isSecure ? "https://" : "http://") + config.host + (config.port ? ":" + config.port : "") + config.prefix + "resources"
});
require(["js/qlik"], function(qlik) {
	qlik.setOnError(function(error) {
		$('#popupText').append(error.message + "<br>");
		$('#popup').fadeIn(1000);
	});
	$("#closePopup").click(function() {
		$('#popup').hide();
	});
	//callbacks -- inserted here --
	//open apps -- inserted here --
	var app = qlik.openApp('APP-ID', config);
	//get objects -- inserted here --
	// test
	app.getObject('QV01', 'OBJID').then(function(visual) {
		//console.log(visual);
		$("#exportChart").show().click(function() {
			//Working Good
			/*
			visual.exportData().then(function(result) {
				console.log('Data download link: ', result);
			});
			*/
			//Not Working IMG
			/*
				var Imgsettings = {
					imageType: 'png',
					height: 200,
					width: 300
				};
				visual.exportImg(Imgsettings).then(function(result) {
					console.log('Image download link: ', result);
				});
			*/
			//Not Working PDF
			var Pdfsettings = {
				documentSize: "A4",
				aspectRatio: 2,
				orientation: "landscape"
			};
			visual.exportPdf(Pdfsettings).then(function(result) {
				console.log('Pdf download link: ', result);
			});
			console.log("Exporting");
		});
	});
	//create cubes and lists -- inserted here --
});
