Dashboard Report Printing

Posting here an issue that was resolved via a Freshdesk ticket.

Problem

When attempting to export an Elastic dashboard as a PDF with the “For Printing” option selected, the process would time out and fail. This happened consistently, even after increasing timeout settings and RAM allocation for Kibana.

Solution

After investigating the issue, it seems the “For Printing” option attempts to split the PDF into multiple pages, and this process is where the failure occurs.
The good news is that exporting the dashboard as a PDF without the “For Printing” option enabled works correctly. We tested this on the affected dashboard, and it generates a complete PDF successfully.
