The PDF click action opens Adobe Acrobat Reader in a new browser window, exports the portlet data into pdf format, and displays the portlet data in Adobe Reader.
NOTE: Adobe Acrobat Reader must be installed on the client system.
DI recommends that you use a PDF click action if you want to print a multipage report.
Consider the following:
- Administrators can prevent users from exporting large files by setting the pdf.row-limit attribute in the portaldb file.
-
When printing a single portlet using a PDF click action, only content from that portlet is printed. Other portlets on the page are not included in the resulting pdf file.
- The aspect ratio is maintained, but the pdf output might be scaled down to ensure that it fits on the print screen.
-
In order for for text to appear as expected in the pdf, any fonts used must be installed on the DivePort server.
PDF click actions can be added to the following types of portlets:
- Analysis
- Chart
- Diver
- Marker
- Matrix
- Measures
- Table Editor
File names
-
Chart, Measures, Matrix, Analysis, and Table Editor portlets use the DivePort parent page name
-
Marker portlets use the marker name.
NOTE: Some special characters might be omitted from the file name.
