What is currently visualized in an analysis can be exported to a PDF document using the Export to PDF dialog. You access the dialog via File > Export > To PDF on the menu bar.
From the dialog, you can
do an ad-hoc, basic export of the content in an analysis, and get a nice output.
prepare customized reports to be exported. When you prepare such reports, you have access to settings for the export that are more advanced. You can, for example, apply bookmarks and filters in the report to mirror certain interactivity in the analysis.
In both cases, a preview of the PDF output is provided.
An example of an Export to PDF dialog is shown above.
Beneath What to Export (a), you can select to export the entire analysis (All pages), parts of it, or prepared analysis reports (b). A simple click on Export in the lower right corner returns the PDF output. You can, though, before clicking Export, modify the appearance of the PDF output using various settings. Which modifications you can do depend on what you select to export.
Note: When exporting a prepared report, all settings are made within the report itself. You only need to click Export to create the PDF document. See Prepared Reports for more information.
The lower left part of the dialog contains settings that are general to the different What to export options (Prepared report is an exception). You can
beneath What to include (c), decide whether page titles, page numbers, date, and annotations should be included in the export.
define the Paper
size and page Orientation (d),
and customize the Proportions of the content
on a page (e). The option As it is on your screen
keeps the proportions used in the analysis. It is, however, possible
to change the Aspect ratio, that is, the
relations between width and height of the content of the pages using
the Custom option. If you want to directly
adapt the proportions so the entire PDF page is utilized, the option
Fit to PDF page is available.
When you specify other proportions than are used in the analysis itself,
you can also adjust the size of the texts on the page. This can be
useful, for example, when the preview shows that some visualization
text is truncated. If you decrease the text size, the text can be
fully visible.
beneath More settings (f), specify the margins to the edge of the PDF pages and the quality of the images in dots per inch (dpi).
Note: Specifying more dots per inch results in larger files sizes.
The preview (g) represents the final PDF pages. It reflects what is currently selected to be exported, and the settings made. Above the preview, the number of PDF pages that are created in the export is displayed (h), and you can use the scroll bar to navigate among them. Buttons for zooming in and out in the preview are available (i). By zooming out, for example, you get an overview of the pages.
