How to export dashboards to PDF format from QV developer

I have used only Qlikview developer and the guys who publish these reports that we develop is in different location and we just use to share the developed qvw files with them.

I have read that through publisher, the option for downloading the dashboards in PDF can be done ( i donno if this is true..)

My doubt is..is there any way by which we can get the PDF version of dashboards that we develop from QV developer itself?

Do we have any plug-ins etc that will help us to achieve this?

It would be great if we can achieve this as demo's to higher management etc will require PDF forms of the dashboards that we develop.

Kindly help.

Hi

IF you just install PDF printing software you can save dashboard, any object or qlik report as PDF document.

Search for free PDF printer in google.
