The new feature Export to PDF appears to be just a screen capture of each report - whatever is currently being shown on the screen is what is captured in the pdf. When a report has a Table or Matrix visualization on it with rows that scroll beyond what is shown, these are not captured in the pdf. Need to have all the data show up in the pdf.

This should be a basic feature! Now I wish we had gone with Tableau. I'm getting ready to share what I've done with they business owner and they need to be able to print reports to show to legislature and federal grant organizations. This is embarrassing!!!

Export to pdf feature is of very little use if it does not allow to export all rows. Please incorporate this. Thankyou

Require this feature, as well as printing.

This feature is less than useless as implemented. An export feature showing a subset of data is actually detrimental to reporting purposes, giving people a false picture of what is being reported on.

RE: Export to PDF needs to include all rows in a Table or Matrix visualization

Agreed, export to PDF and PowerPoint are totally useless if it's just a screen grab that doesn't scroll down the table.

RE: Export to PDF needs to include all rows in a Table or Matrix visualization

Right now this is useless. I was excited when I saw this being added first, but very disappointed to see that it just shows whats on the screen.
It should not really be called Export to pdf at all............should be call Screen Dump to pdf
