I have a dashboard I would like to generate a pdf report of

here's a screenshot of dashboard

 ![exampledashboard](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/e/6e017b2902a277c4eceb9e08f8d0e97df00b9ff4.png)

according to the documentation:

- Open the dashboard, visualization, Canvas workpad, or saved search that you want to include in the report.

- In the Kibana toolbar, click **Share**. If you are working in Canvas, click the share icon ![Canvas Share button](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/2/b/2b63cb68e5da5f70005fe82041292d38c789cbc1.png).

- Select the option appropriate for your object. You can export:

- A dashboard or visualization as either a PNG or PDF document

- A Canvas workpad as a PDF document

- A saved search as a CSV document

- Generate the report.

Instead - wtf - when I click share it gives me two options  
embed code and permalink

How do I get to the report creating methods discussed in the documentation?

Hi @bryan_rasmussen,

The pdf reporting option is available in our gold, platinum and enterprise licenses, see  
[https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions](https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions)

Can you check which license you have?

Thanks!  
Liza
