Exporting a Webi report as PDF

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm having a hard time getting a PDF to export properly. I can get the report to export, but the report header and footer are missing.

In a nutshell, here's what I'm doing:

* GET request to http://server:6405/biprws/raylight/v1/document/1234/parameters/?lovInfo=false to get the list of parameters my report needs

* PUT request to http://server:6405/biprws/raylight/v1/document/1234/parameters, with the following XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<parameters>
    <parameter optional="false" type="prompt" dpId="DP0">
        <id>0</id>
        <technicalName>Please Enter Date</technicalName>
        <name>Please Enter Date</name>
        <answer constrained="true" type="Text">
            <info cardinality="Single" keepLastValues="true">
                <lov hierarchical="false" refreshable="true">
                    <id>UNIVERSELOV_DS0.DO2e</id>
                </lov>
                <previous>
                    <value id="0">02/28/2016</value>
                </previous>
            </info>
            <values>
                <value id="0">02/28/2016</value>
            </values>
        </answer>
    </parameter>
    <parameter optional="false" type="prompt" dpId="DP0">
        <id>1</id>
        <technicalName>Please Enter Agency Identifier:</technicalName>
        <name>Please Enter Agency Identifier:</name>
        <answer constrained="false" type="Text">
            <info cardinality="Single" keepLastValues="true">
                <lov hierarchical="false" refreshable="true">
                    <id>UNIVERSELOV_DS0.DO21</id>
                </lov>
                <previous>
                    <value>100049</value>
                </previous>
            </info>
            <values>
                <value>100052</value>
            </values>
        </answer>
    </parameter>
</parameters>

* GET request to http://server:6405/biprws/raylight/v1/document/1234, with Accept header set to "application/pdf"

While I do get my PDF, I'm only getting the main body, not the page header/footer.

Any suggestions?

Hi Eric,

Your export is done in listing mode, which is the continuous body of the report only.  To export a paginated report with headers and footers, add "/pages" to the export.
