PDF Report is being shrunk
Hi,
I have a scheduled search that gives me last week's report, it looks all nice and big but when I export it to PDF it is being shrunk and the timeline only shows every 2 days and it's very hard to see the full graph like that
I've tried to change size of the PDF(A2/3/4) and also orientation but nothing worked - do you have any tips on how to improve the way the PDF looks?
Thanks

From Splunk documentation (http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.1.1/Troubleshooting/PDFTS):
"Sometimes a PDF that should be
several pages long has only one page,
or only the first few pages. This was
improved in version 1.3 of the PDF
Report Server app. If you're using the
latest version and still seeing this
problem, try limiting the number of
panels you're printing to PDF if you
can."
That docs page has lots of good info on PDFs in Splunk if you haven't already seen it.
Also are you exporting with advanced XML?

I am using the integrated PDF generation. It just seems odd to me that it is so small ... like I said there is a good 20 / 25% of the page it could use.

The integrated PDF report generator has hard coded chart sizes... I manually changed it but it is global for the whole search head...

I think devicenul1 is using integrated PDF generation, not the PDF Report Server app.

I'm also having this problem, the more we use it for reporting the more we are printing PDFs. Seems like it's only using like 75% of the page. Documentation doesn't list any configuration changes you can make and I don't see this in the list of known issues for 6.1.1. Any thoughts / ideas / suggestions on next steps?
