Optimal Settings for PDF dashboard export

Hi everyone,

We sometimes need to export dashboards to pdf. As you might know, the default settings aren’t ideal for visibility, so we try out different settings that look better. However, we haven’t yet landed on an optimal setting config.

Do you have any suggestions to optimise export settings (e.g. combination of paper size, orientation, zoom)? This is for a standard dashboard using the entire page space.

Thanks in advance for your inputs.

Unfortunately, the options for font size are very limited. For day-to-day insight they’re fine, but I recreate them for live presentations and/or senior leadership because there is too much white space and the text isn’t readable. 

I have submitted an idea using the “Ideas” tab and will link it here when it shows up in the system.
