Export a dashboard as a PDF so you can archive, print, or distribute it.

## Before you begin

This topic refers to Dashboards in the Core UI.

Roles required: No role is required to export dashboards to PDF, however, an admin has to configure the instance for PDF export. See [Enable PDF export of dashboards](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/kbmN2P_ONZDQbTIuUqWx6Q "To export dashboards to PDF, a plugin and property are needed.") for more information.

## About this task

Interactive filters that are applied to the dashboard are also applied to the PDF. However, applied breakdowns are not included in the export.  
Note:  
To generate the PDF locally, set the interactive filters, click the user icon, and select Printer Friendly Version. The dashboard opens in a new window or tab. Export the dashboard using the print settings of the browser.

If you do not have Next Experience activated, select
Printer Friendly Version from the
Settings menu.

Limitations:

* Custom content may not generate as expected when exported to PDF. For more information, see [Custom content PDF export limitations](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/9DAE7wchOUfoq5lyfhFjpQ "When you create custom content to be placed as widgets on dashboards and home pages, you must perform extra tests before you export the content to PDF.").{#t_ExportAHomePageOrDashboardToPDF__ph_yx1_bft_ndb}
* Dashboards that are exported to PDF do not include the dashboard layout. Widgets are stacked on top of each other and take up the full page width.
* Widgets are exported to a fixed height. Large widgets, such as workbench or list widgets, are truncated.
* Calendar reports exported from a dashboard may be truncated because exporting calendar reports to PDF is not supported.
* Breakdowns applied to a dashboard are not included in the PDF.
* Widgets may appear in a different order than on the dashboard.
* Widget legends may not appear.
* Exports do not include data tables associated with report visualizations. You can export individual reports separately, including their data tables. To include data tables in scheduled reports, check Display data table on the report's Configure tab in Report Designer.
* Coloring on the delta text for single score report widgets is not preserved.
* PDFs do not reflect the selected time frame when you select the Show date range selector at the widget level.
* It is not possible to export responsive dashboards as templates.
