Tabular Reporting - PDF file support is here + DPI increase

[Andrew_Kruger]

As of today (Feb 27 2024) PDF file support is now available for the Tabular Reporting capability.  

When using tabular reports, report developers can configure the report file output to be PDF. This configuration can be done in the report task, and users of the Qlik Add-in for Microsoft Excel can also preview a report output in PDF file format as well. This expands the capability of tabular reporting to support multi-page, highly formatted, read-only (PDF) report creation and distribution.

Also of note, the DPI for images used in Tabular Reporting has been increased to 192. If using a lot of images in your reports you might check the file size to ensure that it hasn't exceeded any email limits (if using that channel).  

Please keep the great feedback coming on the community and use the ideation portal share and add your voice to suggested capabilities.

Hey @Andrew_Kruger, can you clarify - is this Qlik Reporting inside Qlik Automations?

It might be obvious but how can change the output to Landscape

Thanks Robert

Hey @Greg_Oliven  - this relates to Tabular Reporting see https://help.qlik.com/en-US/cloud-services/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/Reporting/cloud-tabular-.... 

This is an alternate reporting output option from the Qlik Reporting Service.  

Hope this helps.

Hey @robert99  - see https://help.qlik.com/en-US/cloud-services/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/Reporting/excel-add-in-g...  .  You will use the Native Excel document control options on the template itself.

Thansk Andrew. Using Containers (as opposed to dragging chart by chart) and this PDF output produces an excellent solution, The only slight issue I had was rendering Qlik tables in the chart format. Its not as good as Qlik itself but found a work around but would prefer more formating options here (but this could be an Excel or User issue)

But otherwise its excellent.
