Setup guide
1. Install
Install the Report PDF Studio package in your org (sandbox first is recommended). Supported editions: Enterprise, Unlimited, Performance and Developer (editions with Apex and the Reports API).
2. Give access
- Report PDF Studio User permission set — for people who print reports. They also need the standard Run Reports permission and access to the report folders.
- Report PDF Studio Admin permission set — for admins: branding profiles, settings, all jobs and schedules.
3. Set up branding (admins)
Open the Report PDF Studio app → Settings tab:
- Create a branding profile: page size (Letter, Legal, A4, A3, Tabloid), orientation, header text, footer text, accent color, font, row limit, which sections to print, and Default profile.
- Upload a logo (PNG, JPG or GIF) to the profile.
- In Org settings, set the maximum rows, retries, allowed email domains, and whether to use the chart renderer for pie, donut and line charts.
4. Print a report
- Report PDF Studio → Render PDF: pick a report, change filters, then Preview, Generate PDF or Email PDF.
- Utility bar → Report to PDF: open any report in Lightning; the utility picks it up — print it in one click. Add the Report to PDF (utility) component to the utility bar of your other apps in App Manager.
- Link:
/lightning/n/RPS_Report_PDF_Studio?c__reportId=<report Id>opens the studio with a report selected. - Flow: use the action Render Report to PDF (category Report PDF Studio).
5. Schedules
Schedules → New schedule: pick the report and filters, frequency, hour and recipients, and activate. The schedule runs as you, with your access.
