GitHub user dosubot[bot] added a comment to the discussion: How to export to PDF with scroll
<!-- Greeting --> Hi @saileshkrishnan! I'm [Dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot) and I’m helping the superset team. <!-- Answer --> Unfortunately, **there's no built-in way to export full scrollable table content to PDF** in Superset. The [PDF export is screenshot-based](https://github.com/apache/superset/discussions/37837#discussioncomment-15754178), so it only captures what's visible in the viewport—[scrollable content or content below the fold is not captured](https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/36794). **Workarounds:** 1. **Limit row count before export** – Reduce the number of rows displayed in each table before exporting. This is the [most effective workaround](https://github.com/apache/superset/discussions/36735#discussioncomment-15288895) for successful exports, though you won't capture all data in the PDF. 2. **Export table data separately** – Use Superset's CSV/Excel export for individual charts to get the complete dataset, then combine with your dashboard PDF. 3. **Browser automation** – Some users [automate PDF export using tools like Playwright or Puppeteer](https://github.com/apache/superset/discussions/36988#discussioncomment-15448922), which can capture full scrollable content, though this requires external scripting. If you have dashboards with tabs, enabling `FEATURE_FLAGS = {"ALERT_REPORT_TABS": True}` in `superset_config.py` will [print each tab on a separate PDF page](https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/36794), but this still won't solve the scrolling issue within individual charts. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot).* --- <sup>How did I do?
