Exporting image from dashboard

[former_member672670]

Hie Guys,

I have an existing dashboard that is created from a Photoshop image. I do not have access to the original Photoshop image. Basically, it is a landing page that provides links to all the Webi Reports in Prod. I have provided the snapshot of the Dashboard below. I need to export those 6 images in the dashboard separately to be used in a presentation.  Is there a way I can do this? The Business Objects Version is - business objects 4.0 service pack 7 patch 2 and I'm using Office 2007. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Jeevan,

I am not sure if i got your question correct, but if the image is on an image component you can retrieve it. You convert the xlf extension to zip(make sure you have a backup), then if you open the zip folders, you will be able to see the images that are used, and copy them.

Yes Fazith  this is good trick to retrieve image.

I use this trick to change version of .xlf file so that we can use new version dashboard file in older version.

Hi Jeevan,

Just rename your dashboard extension i.e.

.xlf to .zip

Hope this makes your requirements achievable.

Hi Jeevan,

Change the xlf extension to zip , unzip it .Inside it you will find a folder, all the images used in that dashboard will be available there.

Hi Jeevan ,

Reply Sheik Mohammad Fazith Ali Zakir is correct and worked on several occasions for me.

When  we change the .xlf extension to zip and unzip the same, then you will get images in sub- folders .

There is no way I am aware of t export any image embedded from a dashboard. Your best bet here is to do screen capture of the dashboard and be a little creative in paint to get the individual pictures. The images obviously will not be very good quality but it might work for your presentation..

[former_member672670]

Should i export the dashboard in "Powerpoint" or "Word" and then use it in paint to get a better quality image?

You can export to ppt which should work as well if you want to showcase the dashboard functions as well in your presentation..
