Exporting workspaces to PDF files

Export the current tab of an IBM® Cognos® Insight workspace to a new PDF file or as a new page in an existing PDF file to obtain a snapshot of the current view of your workspace.

About this task

The PDF that you create by exporting includes everything that appears on the current tab, including the current view of the canvas, the filters that you have applied, and any other changes that you have made. For example, if your workspace tab includes a very long crosstab, scroll down or scroll up to display the crosstab rows that you want to appear in the PDF.

Procedure

From the tab and view that you want to export, click the Actions icon Actions icon, and then complete one of the following actions:
  • To export to a new PDF file, click Export to PDF > Create file. A navigation window appears where you can enter a file name and choose a location on your computer in which to save the file.
  • To append the exported workspace tab as a page at the end of an existing PDF, click Export to PDF > Append to file. A navigation window appears where you can choose the PDF file to add the workspace tab to.
