Export to PDF functionality in Qlik Sense doesn't export entire dataset to PDF

The export as image/PDFfunctionality doesn't provide the entire dataset in Qlik Sense, due to the following reasons:

  1. Export Data is not Export as image, Export as PDF and Export as PPT (only for stories). Export data is not managed by SensePrinting
  2. Export Data allows single export of visualizations, not the entire sheet
  3. Export as image/PDF takes a snapshot of each object to be exported (the amount of data exported then is what is visible at that moment), renders each visualization in the backend leveraging CEF (Chrome Embedded Framework) and then takes a screenshot of the chart
  4. Export as image/PDF doesn't necessarily reflect what you see on the screen. The final result is affected by different things like current device (size, resolution,....), final format (A4, A3, letter, etc..), orientation (portrait/landscape), other settings (fit to page/keep current size), browser which is used, etc.

The full table export is available only through "Export data".

Hello -

Is Export as PDF or other export options other than Export Data where the full table/chart would be available on any roadmap or implementation?

I have several cases where our users would need see a full sheet with data or a straight table with full data present in other export options other than exporting as data.

Thanks!

Hello @MJPGATOUR 

For Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows, this can be achieved using Qlik NPrinting (see conclusion to Qlik Sense: get the full data when export to pdf).

For Qlik Cloud, an idea is active and collecting feedback (if you wish to add your voice and vote to it): Make it possible to print a whole table (pivot and straight) to pdf in Qliksense SAAS.

All the best,
Sonja
