Print Thingworx Dashboards as PDF

[pshashipreetham]

Hi, 

I followed a couple of Articles from the PTC Knowledge base, and I was not able to get the Dashboard printed as a PDF with the press of a Button. Initially, I tried using an HTML Text Area, but it wouldn't work for interactions like button clicks or the window.print() method.

I am seeking a solution to this issue.

Thingworx version: 9.4 and 9.7

Thanks,

Hi,

I followed the steps below to print the Dashboard... 

1. Create a thing and add the below piece of code to it and make the output string:

   result = "<button onclick='window.print();return false;'>Print this page</button>";​

2. Then, go to the Mashup and add a Value Display widget.
3. Bind the Service that was created in step 1
4. Make the changes to the Render options of the Value Display Widget, as shown below:
   
5. Once we press on the button/value display widget on the Dashboard, it open's up to a Printing options Pop-up

Thanks,
