Printing Cards that are Longer than One Page

I know this has been brought up many times in the past and it appears that each relevant thread was closed without resolution. We need a way to be able to print or output a PDF or PPT of a card without it being cut off if it doesn't fit entirely on one page. Currently we have several reports that won't fit on a single page and it's really frustrating that they get cut off in pretty much every output format except logging into Domo. Sure, we can attach a CSV file to an email, but that loses all formatting, which makes the reports less useful.

I welcome any solutions to this issue.

Thanks for submitting this. We're currently exploring a customizable PDF report builder for App studio where you can define and adjust content on the basis of available page breaks. We are also exploring potential table export options with the same! Stay tuned.

    I wish i knew who to AT Domo @justin-millheim ?? I believe when you render a card you can set the zoom size right?

    @pstrauss I would say that if your card exceeds a page it is probably less of a chart and more likely a table card. if that's the case, just export the data to excel where you have all the control over printing and layout. https://domohelp.domo.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043437933-Using-the-Domo-Excel-Plugin

    i agree it's probably an unnecessary limit on Domo to not be able to print a card that spans multiple pages, but i'd also suggest that it forces card designers to rethink "card" instead of ... massive dump of data.

    i kind of like the "use the right tool for the job" limit that this imposes on you.

    @jaeW_at_Onyx thanks for the suggestion. I was thinking maybe tables would be better, though we'd ideally like to have control over the formatting without having to export it to Excel.

    Jae,

    I mostly agree with you, but we have an instance of this where the data needs to be exported to a PDF, so that it cannot be changed easily for financial reporting and storage. The users do not want to export it to excel, because it can be easily changed.
