Downloading Current Sheet with One Visual per Page as a PDF File

Arcadia Enterprise enables you to download the current sheet as a PDF file with each visual on a separate page. The filename is the same as the name of the dashboard, and has a timestamp specifying the date and time when the file is created.

Before you download the dashboard as a PDF file, navigate to the General menu, and select the Enable"Download as Image/PDF" option.

In the following example, we will demonstrate how to download a *.pdf file with each visual of the current sheet on a separate page.

1. Open any dashboard. We are using the PDF Export dashboard with two visuals.

   

2. Click the (ellipsis) icon at the top left corner of the interface.

3. Click Download as..., select PDF from the secondary menu, and then select One visual per page on current sheet.

   

4. A Generating the requested file message appears.

5. After the download is complete, open the default download folder on your computer. Arcadia Enterprisesaves the current sheet to a *.pdf file.

   In our example, the generated filename, PDF Export_20190205142003, has the following components:

   • PDF Export

     Same name as the dashboard

   • 20190205

     Signifies the date the file is created, in YYYYMMDD format

   • 142003

     Signifies the time the file is created, in hhmmss format

   Note that Arcadia Enterprise renames sheets with names that contain characters not supported by the file system. For example, for the sheet PDF/Export, it generates the file as PDF Export_xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.pdf, replacing the forward-slash (ASCII #47) character with a space.

   

   Notice that each visual in the current sheet is on a separate page.
