Custom Dashboard Reports should be exportable to PDF

[anonymous-matomo-user]

Is it possible to have the ability to create/export PDF custom reports from dashboards like in Google Analytics?
More detail at http://online-behavior.com/analytics/dashboards :
"3. Email

Often times, you will need to send the dashboard as a PDF file instead of sharing it. This might be the case if the person that needs it is less comfortable with Google Analytics or if you would prefer to send it to yourself as a reminder every day, week, month or quarter. In this case you would use the email functionality. You can configure the following for your email:

Destination: enter any emails that should receive the dashboard.
Subject: the subject of the email.
Frequency: can be once, daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly.
Day of the week/month: for weekly and monthly emails you will be able to choose the day of the week/month that the dashboard will be sent to you.
Advanced Options - Active: allows you to have an "expiration date ", i.e. you can set this email just for the period of x months and then it will stop automatically.
Content: you can write any content to be added to the email with the file.

1. Export

This option enables you to download a PDF version of the Dashboard into your computer instantly."

We had three requests for this feature - - in the same week:

#1
Question: What is your main concern about Matomo?
Answer: It would be nice if there was a convenient, in-built way of exporting reports in PDF-form.

#2
Question: What is the one thing you’d like to see improved in Matomo and why?
Answer: Dashboard als PDF generieren!!!!

#3
Question: What is the one thing you’d like to see improved in Matomo and why?
No more like the summary report on Google Analytic: on the fly download PDF reports
Matomo replied: Are you talking about them in this context? https://matomo.org/docs/tracking-goals-web-analytics/#promotional-pdf-downloads
User: No more like the summary report on Google Analytic

Today on a call,
an agency team was surprised that we cannot send a dashboard by mail.
Or even rich graphics.
Either would have excited them.

I also have customers who would like to send dashboards as e-mail reports. This way we could control visualisation as pie chart etc.

A feature that would be highly appreciated.

Hi team, same thing here, one of my client is asking for it.

Hi guys, Another customer requesting this feature "Is there a way to export the dashboard view in pdf ? We need to send a dashboard to one of our client and I would like to avoid creating an account for him".

(The scope of this is fine as is but just putting a pin in this thought.
If this feature gets implemented, let's remember to make a new feature request for "Automatically export customized dashboard as a pdf, via an option in email reports scheduling". That would solve )

[goochj03]

Another request to see this implemented "Is it possible to export the dashboard, which you can create individually with Matomo, as a PDF"

[atom-box]

Without knowing it, this customer is also requesting this feature:

whenever we are exporting the report in PDF format some of the pages (refer page 3) appear in landscape and some are getting generated in Portrait format.

Another customer requesting this feature for Matomo.
"Is it possible to export a dashboard in PDF format, similar to how I'm able to export reports/dashboard in PDF format in Google Analytics"

[Chardonneaur]

Another client asked for this feature today.

[goochj03]

A cloud customer was looking for an option to export their dashboard to PDF today. "We would like to download the dashboard as a PDF. Unfortunately, this option is not displayed."

Email Reports was suggested as an alternative for now.
