Hi,

Is there a possibility to adjust the size of the visualizations on the generated pdf?  
At the moment all visualizations take half a page, even when it's a Markdown widget with just 2 words.  
Also: How to remove generated pdf files? They add up quite a bit to my memory pressure.

Not right now, no. The images size in the PDF is fixed to avoid a lot of weirdness with layout and page breaks. It's something we plan to fix though.

As for cleaning up the reporting history, you can remove the record from the `.reporting` index, or just wipe out the index completely if you don't need any of the history. We'll be adding delete and more controls to the setting interface soon.
