What canvas size to use for PDF reports?
Completed
Hello,
My team is creating reports in Yellowfin to be exported to A4 PDF. We have been having some issues when choosing the canvas size when creating reports using the design canvas. It has been difficult to figure out what the correct canvas size is to use for this to ensure our reports don't get cut off, or spill over onto the following pages when exported. This also applies when using the codisplay function, we need to know the exact length all of our codisplayed canvases must add up to to fit onto an A4 PDF to export. Are you able to tell me what height and width to use in pixels to achieve this?
Thanks
Anna

Hi Ankit,
Due to data privacy reasons I am unable to have a remote session and I will need to explain over this platform. If there are additional questions about what I require I am happy to answer them.
Thanks

Hello Anna,
Thanks for your patience and apologies for the delay in response.
The reports cut off or spill over onto the following pages when exported, heavily depend on the structure of the report and the data fetched in the report. Thus, it is hard to define and fix the exact canvas size in pixels to get it exported perfectly to A4 size pdf. Canvas sizing can still be configured as per the requirement using the canvas properties while creating a dashboard.
Canvas - Yellowfin Guide 9 - Global Site (yellowfinbi.com)
However, we can configure the default PDF export settings where we can set the pdf page size to A4 and avoid any spillover of data by enabling the "Shrink to fit the page" option. Below documentation link provides the details on the configuration settings.
Export Defaults - Yellowfin Guide 9 - Global Site (yellowfinbi.com)
In addition to that, if you can please share the YFX file of a sample report with the co-displays, charts and tables created using the default Yellowfin database SKI team, so that we can replicate and assist you with the exact requirement. Using Yellowfin SKI team database there won't be any data issues as it's a test lab environment that you can create the sample report and share it with us.
