I'm trying to generate a Watcher Report with Kibana Canvas 7.5.0, but when going to Canvas "Share"-\>"PDF Reports"-\>"Copy POST URL" the url I'm getting is something like:
`https://.eu-west-1.aws.found.io:9243/s/production/api/reporting/generate/printablePdf (with cloud-id being my actual id)`
This does not seem to be the correct url needed for the [Automatic report generation (doc)](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.5/automating-report-generation.html)
Is this "Copy" button working correctly on Canvas? Because doing the same on the regular Kibana Dashboards it gives me the **correct** url with many jobParams like this:
`(.../api/reporting/generate/printablePdf?jobParams=(browserTimezone:UTC,layout:(dimensions:(height:1800,width:2495),id:preserve_layout),objectType:dashboard,relativeUrls:!(%27%2Fapp%2Fkibana%23%2Fdashboard...)`

So there is an actual bug here - [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/53967](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/53967) and its going to get fixed in 7.5.2 (upcoming)
This was also a regression in 7.5.0 . So you would be fine in previous versions.
As a workaround - you can try passing the json payload to the request -
````auto
curl 'http://user:pass@localhost:5601/vlq/api/reporting/generate/printablePdf' -H 'Accept: application/json' -H 'kbn-xsrf: professionally-crafted-string-of-text' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-binary
```{"jobParams":"(browserTimezone:America/Phoenix,layout:(dimensions:(height:2570,width:1100),id:preserve_layout),objectType:\'canvas workpad\',relativeUrls:\u0021(/app/canvas#/export/workpad/pdf//page/1),title:\'example workpad\')"}' --compressed
````
Hope that helps
Thanks,
