how to save a qlikview generated report

[#1]

Hi,

i have used the reports function in Qlikview which allows you to generate a report of certain graphs and charts from your dashboard so you can print them out automatically from the tool.

However my question is how can you save these reports to save a PDF?

thanks

Install a PDF printer driver such as PDFCreator.

Hi Rob,

Could you please suggest me how to bypass the save as pop up window for PrimoPDF writer since you were using PrimoPDFas PDF writer. if i want to save the file i have to lick on save as button manually but i want to automate instead of hitting manually.  below is the code i was using

sub pdftest

set WSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

WSHShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\PrimoPDF\OutputFile", "C:\Program Files\ActivePDF\PrimoPDF\QlikView Prin.pdf", "REG_SZ"

WSHShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\PrimoPDF\BypassSaveAs", "1", "REG_SZ"

ActiveDocument.PrintReport "RP01","PrimoPDF", false

set WSHShell = nothing

end sub .

Thanks,

Chandra

after Creating report

if you click on report name

Reports-> reportName-> click

it will ask you to print

then in Printer Name _> select PDF writer Name for ex PDFExchange 3.0

then print and save as ReportName.pdf

Hope this helps
