You run tabcmd export myWorkbook/myView –fullpdf
expecting to get a pdf with all the views from your Tableau Server; however, the fullpdf you just downloaded has only the myView in it. Why?
The most likely reason is the small print in the Tableau help:
To export a workbook, it must have been published with Show Sheets as Tabs selected in the Tableau Desktop Publish dialog box.
Options?
- Use Tableau Desktop to republish it, but make sure that the
Show sheets as tabs
is selected. If this problem is something that affects different workbooks, this can be tedious. - Download the workbook and republish it using
tabcmd
, but now with the –tabbed option selected. Easily automated for different workbooks.- Download:
tabcmd get /workbooks/myWorkbook.twbx
- Publish:
tabcmd publish myWorkbook -r myProject --tabbed
- Export to PDF:
tabcmd export myWorkbook/myView --fullpdf
- Done!
