exportPd() method is not working for me

[JohnIssue]

I am workin on a Mashup, where I want to include the option to dowload the information in an object as an excel. But I also want to dowload this object in a PDF.

The method exportData() is working fine. The way I use it is as follows:
I create the variable: 

var table = $rootScope.global.qlik.table(model),

and after that I use:

                    table.exportData(exportOpts).then(function() {

                    });

with my exportOpts previously defined.

However, I don't know if I have to define a similar variable to 'table' so that I can use exportPdf() or how I can do it.

Anyone could help me?

Thanks in advance!!

Hi @JohnIssue , please see our help site on this method where you can find an example on how to use exportPDF method from a visualization.

@alex_colombo Thank you very much! Anyway, even having seen it, I do not know still how can I make it work

I guess you want to export a Qlik visualization into a PDF, am I right? If so, you have to first get the object with getObject method, then use exportPDF method on the response, as per the example in our help site.

I mean, I am using:

                 export to PDF:   $rootScope.global.qlik.table(model).exportPdf(exportOpts).then(function() {

                    });

                    Export to Excel: $rootScope.global.qlik.table(model).exportData(exportOpts2).then(function() {

                    });

The second one works properly but the first one does not.

Are you building a mashup or an extension? Method global.qlik.table is using for accesing table used by an extension object. Can you share the entire code?

First of all, thank you for your help. I am building a Mashup. When I want to download the data in an object as an excel I use:

                $rootScope.global.apps[$rootScope.app].app.getObjectProperties(qlikid).then(function(model) {

                    var table = $rootScope.global.qlik.table(model);

                    var exportOpts = {

                      ....

                    };

                    $rootScope.global.qlik.table(model).exportData(exportOpts).then(function() {

                    });

                });

Which works properly. However, for exporting the visualization into a PDF I am trying with:

                $rootScope.global.apps[$rootScope.app].app.getObject(qlikid).then(function (object) {

                    var settings = {

                        ...

                    };

                    object.exportPdf(settings).then(function () {                   

                    })

                })

When I debug, I get a message that states 'TypeError: object.exportPdf is not a function'.

Once again, thank you for your help.

Can you please use the code below?

$rootScope.global.apps[$rootScope.app].app.visualization.get(qlikid).then(function(object){
	var settings = {
		...
	};

	object.exportPdf(settings).then(function (result) {
		console.log('PDF download link: ', result);
	})
})

It seems to work fine, thank you very much!!
