Hi team, I have a Kibana instance w/ a platinum license and when I'm under Dashboards and I go to the share menu I don't see the option to export to PDF. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/5/3/5337755648c5c9b151ad20263f7ea4c12fc379b1.png) I have tried enabling xpack.reporting.enabled: true on the kibana.yml but had no luck. The export to PDF option only shows up when I go to Canvas. What am I missing? TIA Azulgrana ---

FYI, the user has the reporting role enabled ---

What version? Did you click on the permalinks? If you log in with the elastic user do you see it? ---

7.9.2 and yes I have clicked over the link. My reporting role shows this ... is this correct? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/1/c1018e447b8650ed7d3ee79630c6b43186c83e47.png) ---

I suggest you read this section [Here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.9/secure-reporting.html) _Users will also need the appropriate Kibana privileges to access the objects to report on and the Elasticsearch indices._ I would first try the elastic user then follow the docs if you are trying to create a Read Only Reporting Role which I think may be what you are trying to accomplish ---

You are absolutely, right. Sorry about that, I was rushing to get my question out and I didn't take the time to think about how I was approaching the Elastic team. I have edited and corrected my initial post 🙂 ---
