Pdf - Landscape or Portrait

Get Help
1

Hi everyone,

I'm currently using Metabase version 0.55.80, but this issue started happening at some point during the recent updates.

Previously, when exporting dashboards to PDF, Metabase would correctly generate them in landscape orientation if the dashboard was wide. However, in the more recent versions, all PDFs are being exported in portrait mode only, even for dashboards that clearly require a landscape layout.

I've reviewed the settings but couldn't find any option to control or force the page orientation during export. Has anyone else noticed this behavior? Is there any parameter, flag, or workaround to bring back the landscape export?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi Alex,

I checked this and couldn’t reproduce it but I think that maybe you are seeing this with dashboards that don’t have full width enable. Can you check if that is the case?

I did see that when you have a dashboard with full width, the PDF export is horizontal and when the full width is disable the export is vertical

Hi Pierinasalinas,

Thanks for the suggestion.

I've confirmed that the dashboard is already set to "full width," but the PDF export unfortunately still comes out in portrait mode.

I'm attaching a couple of screenshots to show you what I mean: one with the full-width setting enabled and another showing the vertical PDF output.

Let me know if you have any other ideas.

Best,

Alex

Is anyone else seeing this issue? I’ve still got it after months (v0.56.8).
