Exporting a visualization

You can export visualizations as images or PDF files.

Only the visible part of the visualization will be exported. For example, if you export a table that has scroll bars, you will not get the entire table. You will get an image that shows the scroll bars and the window area that they specify.

The following type of objects cannot be exported:

• Filter panels
• Sheet titles
• Widgets
