PH45150: LIST OF VISUALIZATION SUPPORTED WITH PDF OUTPUT FOR REPORT AND DASHBOARD

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• TREEMAP Visualization  :
  
  We can export it in pdf from a Dashboard, not from Report
  Studio. This information is not in our documentation
  As I can read in a slack channel :
  > With a dashboard the pdf that is created is based on the
  browsers pdf generation capabilities
  > With a report the pdf that is created is based on a pdf engine
  Cognos built.

Problem conclusion

• 11.1.x
  https://ibmdocs-test.dcs.ibm.com/docs/en/cognos-analytics/11.1.0
  ?topic=reporting-visualizations-supported-pdf-output
  
  11.2.x

  12.0.x

  ?topic=reporting-visualizations-supported-pdf-output
  
  Topics are not the same. The number of supported visualizations
  changes and there is the Image service in CA 11.2.x and 12.0.x
  that is necessary for some visualizations.
