To download an image file, just select the objects to be exported and choose the PNG option in the Design sidebar. Clicking the Export button will download a .png file to your computer.
Alternatively, right-click any object (or selection of objects) to copy a .png file to the clipboard:
When a frame is selected, an Export PDF button is available in the design bar. Click this button to download a PDF file containing the contents of the selected frame.
To download all of the currently visible frames in the canvas, use the Export frames as PDF button from the canvas menu.
When exporting all canvas frames:
Each frame will be included as a separate page in the PDF file
Frames that have been hidden will not be included
When viewing a report, the options to export report frames are accessible from the canvas menu:
The available options are:
Export current page as PDF - this option will download a PDF file with a single page containing the current report page.
Export report as PDF - this option will download a PDF file containing all report pages as separate pages. Additionally, any frames that are visible within a report page will be included too.
Anyone that can view the canvas or report can export a PDF file.
When exporting a PDF, Count will include everything that is currently visible within the frame. If, for example, a cell has not finished loading yet, then that data will not be included in the PDF.
For tables, depending on the current scroll position of the table there may be columns and rows included in the PDF that are clipped outside the visible region of the table, and so will be included and selectable, but not visible.
Images are embedded into the PDF file, including those generated by Python cells.
Comments are not included in the PDF file.
The PDF export is performed in your browser, and so is usually very quick. For a highly complex frame, this process can take up to approximately 20 seconds. If you find an export is taking a surprisingly long time, please contact Count support with a link to the frame.
