How can I export all tabs of a screen into one PDF?

Jon De Leon

Hi Experts,
I have a screen with multiple tabs (one tab for each Business Unit) that show MTD data. When I click on Export Printable Report --> PDF, it only exports the first tab. How do export all the tabs into one PDF, with a page for each tab?  Thanks!

Hi @Jon De Leon,

you have to create a new printable area. To print all tabs you have to select the whole container.

Few steps (in german):

@Dietmar Jeschkeit Thank you for the response!
So I should use containers instead of tabs?

Have a great weekend!

Hi @Jon De Leon,

I thought you already have a container "Folder". What you must do is define a printable area and mark the whole tabs.

Hi @Dietmar Jeschkeit
Sorry, I thought it worked. I don't see the ability to add tabs. When I click on "New Area" then try to select the Area, it doesn't capture it. I also don't see the ability to add the tabs to Print Areas:



This is how it looks in the design view:


Thank you again!

Hi,

in the second screenshot you have to mark the area of the complete folder container with the Mouse until it get grey.
Board detects the different objects by marking it with the mouse.
Please try a little bit.
Maybe I can put a video online after this weekend.

Hi @Dietmar Jeschkeit ,
Thank you for taking the time with me today. It finally worked! I didn't know that I had to keep highlighting until Board detects the object.

Thank you very much and have a great weekend!
