Export a Story as a PDF or a PPTX
You can export a story as a PDF file or as a Microsoft PowerPoint (PPTX) file.
Context
Note
Your exported content won't be an exact match to your story pages:
- The PDF or PowerPoint file shows exactly what appears on your story pages at the moment that you export them. If any charts or tables in your story are scrollable, only the visible parts are included in the exported file.
-
The visible content of the story pages in the application determines the size of the exported content: for PDF, the pages will be scaled up; for PowerPoint the content will be scaled down.
If you want to print the PDF file to paper, you may need to use scaling options in your PDF viewing software.
Note
For an R visualization widget, a static plot will be exported. But if the R widget
is written in RHTML (iFrame), it won't be exported.Procedure
Results
Your story is exported.
Note
Exported tables are best viewed in your PDF viewer at 100% zoom, and with custom
line rendering turned off.
