Introduction

Kepion's Export to PDF feature is a powerful tool that enables users to export dashboards and forms as easily shareable and readable PDF documents. 

 

Users have three export options: 

 

This option allows users to export all content on one or more selected pages in a dashboard. Everything you have on a page, except for embedded HTML, will be exported, including filters, buttons, in-page navigation, etc. The PDF export will include all forms on a given page unless the form(s) have been excluded from export. 

 

This option allows users to export just the forms and their filters on one or more selected pages in a dashboard. The PDF export will include all forms on a given page unless the form(s) have been excluded from export. 

 

This option allows users to export a single form and its filters. 

 

Note: Your filter selections at the time of export will be reflected in the PDF document and cannot be changed in the exported file.
