Spotfire® Automation Services User Guide

Export Report to PDF

You can prepare a report of an analysis and export it to a PDF file that is saved to a destination of your choice on the computer running Spotfire Automation Services.

Note: The Export Report to PDF task replaces the Export to PDF task. The settings that were made in the Export to PDF task are included in the report itself. To learn how to prepare reports, see the Spotfire Analyst help.
If you want to make sure that the document is saved as a new file each time the job is executed, you can add the date to the file name using a predefined field. You can also add a pre-configured export path to make sure that the destination path works in your environment. For more information, see Inserting a field in a Spotfire Automation Services job.
Export Report to PDF
Option Description
Destination path Specify the location (on the node running Automation Services or to the defined export path by inserting a field) and file name of the exported PDF file.
Note: If no export path has been defined, the file will be saved to the node executing the job. Therefore, you must make sure that the folder you select as destination folder actually exists on that computer, and that you have writing permissions on the selected folder.
Note: Allowed file paths may be limited by the allowedFilePaths setting in the Spotfire.Dxp.Worker.Automation.config file. For more information, see the Spotfire Server and Environment Installation and Administration help.
Report name Select the report to export. All prepared reports of the analysis are available in the drop-down list.
