(Check the appendix at the end of this document, that is also important)

Also if you want to print the dashboard follow th steps below -

1. Include one form & right click on it & go to 'Toolbars'

2. Create Button in it & assign the system action 'Print'

3. You will get various options for it (Print Table, Print Whole page etc.)

4. Select Print Whole page.

5. When you execute thei model in run time you will get one button in that. When user clicks this button, he will get normal print popup window which we get before printing anything.

Hi,

Create a button in each table and set its action as System action 'Print' and set parameter as 'Print page'.

Deploy the application. When you can click 'Print' button you can save it as PDF document or print the table contents.

Hi,

To export a graph into PDF, do the steps for add a button to for print action. when you press the 'print' button a dialog will ask for printers.In this dialog select 'Microsoft Office Document Image Writer". The graph will save as a image and you can copy it.
