Download dashboard as pdf on tableau desktop

This is a great functionality for users to leverage, but what happens if we need to download five PDF files for five different Filter values or fifteen different values, or selected sheets of a dashboard?

To solve our problem we will be applying a solution that automatically downloads separate files for separate filters without users having to do the same manually and repeatedly. For this solution, I will be using tabcmd command provided by Tableau. Tableau provides the tabcmd command-line utility which users can use to automate site administration tasks on the Tableau Server site or Tableau Online. For example, creating or deleting users, projects, and groups. Link to both are Tableau server and tabcmd.

Ok, that makes things simpler, but this is still not a single click download, users need to navigate to another page and must manually download the PDF. I am not explaining the HTML file, it is something that can be used with very less or no modification. Here is a reference link for importing webdataconnector into the dashboard. I hope this read has proved useful — feel free to reach out to resources useready. You can then download the data as a comma-separated value.
