Problem with PDF Generated by Tableau

I have an issue with the PDF files generated by the "Print to PDF" functionality in Tableau. While the PDF itself is readable and appears to work ok, in Acrobat X I can not add a watermark to the file. If I use File->Print and use a PDF printer the results don't look as nice and the fonts get messed up, but the PDF can be watermarked. I've tried a number of other raster and vector PDF files I have and all watermark just fine. It just seems to be an issue with the PDF files generated by Tableau. Anyone have any ideas or workarounds?

Cheers,

Jeff

Region Sets Grouping Data

tableaucommunity@tableau.com — Tue, 30 Oct 2012 20:05:28 GMT

In a survey we're analyzing we asked what State people were from. What I would like to do is group certain states together as it's a larger data set when combined. For example Pacific Region, Mid West etc. I know I can use sets to create this, however I seem to be unable to graph anything when using multiple sets. In the left column I want these sets to show up as rows and the TOTAL for each set to be reflective of the combined data from the corresponding states. I can do this with one set, which by default shows the set name with the sub-set states named. If I create a total column and then hide all of the individual states I effectively get what I am after. However there seems to be no way to do this with multiple sets.

I hope I've explained this properly. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

Jeff
