Able to export Dashboards in pdf

It would be ever so useful if we were able to export whole dashboard in pdf. At the moment we are able to export single reports which makes our work harder. And we need to play about to get it in pdf through printing options.

It would be so useful feature.

For our use case, we have dashboards with horizontal scrolling because of the amount of information. We really need these to be able to export and not smash into an unreadable format like they do today if you use the Print option. At least being able to stretch to 11x17 would be helpful (currently 11x17 just shows a small image with lots of white space). The color coding/formatting needs to show as well since we use a lot of conditional formatting.

I see this effort to export a PDF of a dashboard is planned from a 2017 thread but requests for updates early 2018 for a completion date are not showing a response? Really need this for some of our clients who don't interact in Workfront, much to our dismay. Need to email them an executive summary of the project (a dashboard) weekly.

This is a very import item to us as well! We need to ability to print the entire dashboard from a project tab OR the ability to have a dashboard prompted to display only ONE project on ALL of the reports in the dashboard. PLUS we REALLY need the dashboards to look prettier when printed to PDF. The graphics get cut off, you have to play with the print setting to get them to look decent. Very frustrating!

It would be very nice to be able to see pictures when reports or dashboards are converted to PDF.

I agree I've requested this feature probably two years ago but unfortunately no progress. We've never utilised most of the new features released.

Two use cases that are critical are:

1) Ensure that the ability to create the pdf is available on the tab and not just the dashboard itself. Our users are offered up dashboards in tabs and they do not know how to navigate to the main dashboard. We need them to be able to create the pdf on their own.

2) Ensure that iFrames also render correctly in the pdf. Today they do not. See example below:

This is somethings we have been promised from WorkFront since we came on as users. Quite disappointed that it is not already a thing.
