Hi Experts,
can somebody help me with the folder location where the code for downloading as pdf is written
from the server when we click on download as pdf, it must call some code which will convert the dashboard into pdf.
what will be the folder location of that code???.......where can i find that code??.....how that conversion to pdf works???
Thanks.

Hi Anil,
The code that generates the PDF is part of Tableau's compiled code, you wouldn't be able to find or read it in a folder on your computer. Is there a particular reason you are looking for the code? It might be we can solve the problem you are having directly.
are you sure we won't be able to see that code? and how u so sure?
I need to customize few things while converting dashboards to pdf which i won't be able to do using default download as pdf options like size, scaling, layout and content.
Thanks for the response Chang

Hi Anil,
I'm sure it can't be changed, I'm a Tableau employee
Depending on what you need to customize, you might be able to do it using tabcmd:
I'd recommend posting an Idea on the Ideas forum with your specific customization needs:
