Hi All,

But is there a trick to export dashboard as PDF in BILaunchpad ??

Thanks for inputs, I cannot ask large set of users to install pdfcreator or cutepdf.

Is SAP hearing us or not ????

There are many BI vendors like Qlikview and tableau with lots of improvements. Instead bringing new tools and renaming them ex : SAP Visi , Predictive analytics etc.,

Please improve the features to the existing products.

Hi RUC,

We can add a "print" button on the dashboard, and request users to install a pdf printer such as pdfcreator or cutepdf.

Then users can print the dashboard as PDF.

first export to pdf locally and then import that pdf document in BIlaunchpad/CMC

What if the dashboard have connectivity  ??

then it will miss the dynamic data refresh .  I don't think it is an answer. Please confirm
