Export Co-Display Report as PDF
26 February, 2015
Hi
We recently upgraded our Yellowfin to 7.1 (build 20141223). However, we are unable to export a Co-Display report (with no drill-through - 5 tabular reports) as PDF. Every other format (CSV, DOC etc) works as expected.
When clicking on the export button no action/message is taken/shown.
Thanks

Hi Stelios,
I'm sorry to hear you are running into trouble while exporting your Co-Display report to PDF. I think I may have replicated your issue. I created a 5 tab, Co-Display Report the way you described on the 20141223 build of Yellowfin. When exporting, I noticed that if the 'Export Tabbed Co-Display' slider is set to off, nothing will export.
If you set the slider to On, the report will export as expected.
I tested this in the newest version of Yellowfin 7.1 and I didn't encounter this issue. The slider functioned as expected.
To fix this I recommend upgrading to the most recent version of Yellowfin 7.1:

Hi Dustin
I am unable to find the slider that you mentioned above.
I haven't created Tabbed Co-Display. I have dragged my reports into Co-Display Bottom so they appear one below the other and I still cannot export as PDF.
Can you reproduce that?

Hi Stelios,
I apologize for not being clear regarding the slider. I was referring to this:
However, when I tried again today, I was unable to export the report to PDF using the 20141223 build regardless of how the 'Export Tabbed Co-Display' slider was set so it appears I may have misspoke. I can also confirm that I couldn't export if Bottom Co-Display was configured.
With all that being said, the 20150123 build fixes these issues, and export to PDF functions as expected.
I recommend upgrading to the most recent version of 7.1 to resolve this issue:
Build 20150227
