Story Point Shows Incorrect Parameter Values when Downloading to PDF

Published: 13 Sep 2018

Issue

When downloading a Story from Tableau Server to PDF, the story points do not show the correct parameter values in the story title or content.

Environment

Tableau Server 2018.1 - 2018.2.1
Tableau Server 10.5..x
Windows
MySQL

Resolution

As a workaround, add ".pdf" at the end of the URL.

Example:
If your url is: http://<server address>#/site/<site name>/<project>/<workbook>/<view>
add .pdf at the end to create:
http://<server address>#/site/<site name>/<project>/<workbook>/<view>.pdf

Adding ".pdf" at the end of the URL will generate a PDF directly in your browser.
