						}
					}

				}
			},

		}
	}

Just to add I am able to generate pdf manually from dashboard->reporting link.

Seems like this could potentially be a bug but I'm not 100% sure. Could you create an issue in our GitHub repo so we can track it there?

Sure, I will do that.
Also, can you please help me to know the curl command to fetch/download pdf copy of dashboard.
I am trying following and it always returns me http 500.

curl -X POST -H "kbn-xsrf:reporting" "url which I got from dashboard->reporting->generation Url"

Am I using the command correctly?
