[ajaykakkar93]

Hello Everyone,

var config = {
	host: window.location.hostname,
	prefix: prefix,
	port: window.location.port,
	isSecure: window.location.protocol === "https:"
};
require.config({
	baseUrl: (config.isSecure ? "https://" : "http://") + config.host + (config.port ? ":" + config.port : "") + config.prefix + "resources"
});
require(["js/qlik"], function(qlik) {
	qlik.setOnError(function(error) {
		$('#popupText').append(error.message + "<br>");
		$('#popup').fadeIn(1000);
	});
	$("#closePopup").click(function() {
		$('#popup').hide();
	});
	//callbacks -- inserted here --
	//open apps -- inserted here --
	var app = qlik.openApp('APP-ID', config);
	//get objects -- inserted here --
	// test
	app.getObject('QV01', 'OBJID').then(function(visual) {
		//console.log(visual);
		$("#exportChart").show().click(function() {
			//Working Good
			/*
			visual.exportData().then(function(result) {
				console.log('Data download link: ', result);
			});
			*/
			//Not Working IMG
			/*
				var Imgsettings = {
					imageType: 'png',
					height: 200,
					width: 300
				};
				visual.exportImg(Imgsettings).then(function(result) {
					console.log('Image download link: ', result);
				});
			*/
			//Not Working PDF
			var Pdfsettings = {
				documentSize: "A4",
				aspectRatio: 2,
				orientation: "landscape"
			};
			visual.exportPdf(Pdfsettings).then(function(result) {
				console.log('Pdf download link: ', result);
			});
			console.log("Exporting");
		});
	});
	//create cubes and lists -- inserted here --
});

Wonderful. I’ve wasted a lot of time trying to work this out and it’s for the wrong version 😂

I will need to look at the client managed only.

[DBIT]

Thanks again for guidance so far. Seems I've been looking at the wrong one, but I don't see any examples for exporting charts and tables with client managed, only apps? 

A little more direction to get this done if possible would be very much appreciated.

[Øystein_Kolsrud]

As I wrote earlier, the APIs for the printing service in the client managed version of Qlik Sense are not public. And there are no examples available for how to do this as far as I know. The only way forward would be for you to reverse engineer the traffic you see in the client when you print from there. I'm afraid I can't give more direction than that, because I don't know this part very well myself.

[DBIT]

No worries. I appreciate all the help to get this far. Much appreciated.

If I manage to do it, I'll post back. 🙂

So I ended up moving the app we need to export from to Qlik SAAS in the cloud and I am now able to export Qlik native objects from it using the API easily enough. I am however getting "chart type not allowed" error response when trying to do the same for custom extensions. I suspect this may be due to the exportable option in the extensions but unless I haven't coded it in correctly on the extension, that is already set to true.

I wonder, is this anything you've encountered before or may know how to solve? 

[Øystein_Kolsrud]

Is it possible to export the same extension from the Qlik Sense client?

[DBIT]

Hi, yes I have copied the extension enterprise to the cloud instance. I have also checked the object is using the extension before it was duplicated in the cloud.

[Øystein_Kolsrud]

I mean are the print options available in the Qlik GUI for the extension? Not all visualizations are exportable even there.

[DBIT]

Ah sorry, yes they are. I can export it using GUI right click no problem.

[DBIT]

Just checked again. Seems they are in the enterprise version but when the same extension is passed over to the cloud version, only data is available in the GUI menu.

I'm hoping there's a way around this?
