Exporting a report to a PDF file

You can manually export a report to a PDF file for viewing, printing or distribution to others. The PDF version of the report matches the last-saved version of the report. It will not match an edited version of the report that has unsaved changes. For information about the automatic creation and distribution of PDF-formatted reports, see Creating a schedule for distribution. The PDF file that is generated from either the manual or automatic process includes all of the pages in the report.

To export a report to a PDF file:

1. Click the report Settings icon on a report layout, and click Export as PDF.

   A pop-up message indicates "Exporting to PDF" and the Settings icon rotates to indicate that the PDF file is being generated. If report changes are not saved, the pop-up message also indicates that the changes are not included in the PDF file.

   If pop-ups are enabled in the browser, the generated PDF file opens in a new tab in the browser. If pop-ups are not enabled, a message indicates that you may need to enable pop-ups. The message also includes a link that you can click to open the PDF file without enabling pop-ups.

2. In a Chrome browser, complete the PDF download using the following steps:
   1. Move the pointer to the top of the PDF window to view/select the Download operation.
   2. In the Save As window, select the folder location for saving the PDF file.
3. In an Internet Explorer browser, click File > Save As to open the Save as dialog and select the location for the saved PDF.
