});
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

				console.log('Data download link: ', result);
			});
			*/
			//Not Working IMG

					width: 300
				};
				visual.exportImg(Imgsettings).then(function(result) {
					console.log('Image download link: ', result);
				});
			*/
			//Not Working PDF
			var Pdfsettings = {
				documentSize: "A4",
				aspectRatio: 2,

Hello Ajay,

   I found a solution for this. So the issue is you need to ask the visulatisation api to get the object take a look at code below.

var app = qlik.openApp('app-id');
app.visualization.get('object-id').then( function(vis) { 
   vis.exportPdf().then(function (result) {
        console.log('PDF download link: ', result);
    }); 
});

Still getting this error

This seems to have to do with your access origin. 

Sorry, I can't help with that.

Hi,

I do manage to get a PDF export link, but the URL is not accessible. 

app.visualization.get('aYtxmq').then(function(vis){
  vis.exportPdf().then(function (result) {
    console.log('Image download link: ', result);
  });
});

This results in 

Image download link:  https://my-qlik.website.com:443/openproxy/tempcontent/50481ec5-4c17-4d53-ac36-6f7dfbc68b4f/fd6e31961187425bbb3bc3648e4988f6.pdf?serverNodeId=8372dd45-3070-4263-ad62-ca1926459c18

But when I open that URL I simply get the message 

The requested resource cannot be found.

Any idea what might be going wrong?

Please note that "https://my-qlik.website.com:443/openproxy" does indeed work and 'openproxy' is a virtual proxy set up with anonymous access that functions correctly.

Trying to do the same thing. Hoping you can help. What language is this please? Can this be done in C# .Net?

Thanks.

Do you want to export to a PDF? Is it for cloud or a client managed solution? There's an example for how to do that for QCS in C# here:

https://github.com/kolsrud/qlik_rest_sdk/blob/master/Qlik.Sense.RestClient/ExamplesQcs/ExportPdf/Pro...

The library is available on NuGet:

https://www.nuget.org/packages/QlikSenseRestClient/

I will have a look at this thanks!

We have Qliksense Enterprise, so client. PDF may work but ideally PNG anything that can be used in a report. Is this possible in C# as a PNG or JPG? I have seen others say they have done it but no code examples or descriptions of how.

Thanks again!

Tried using this method and I'm getting a response saying "403: The initial authentication request must be a "GET" request in order to be redirected to the authentication module."

Bit stumped.
