3573755 - Thresholds symbols are not being exported in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)

Symptom

  • When exporting a story to PDF using "All data" option in SAP Analytics Cloud, the threshold symbols are not displayed in the PDF.
  • The export is based on a script API.

Environment

  • SAP Analytics Cloud (Enterprise) 
  • Optimized Story Experience

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Logon to SAC.
  2. Open a story having a table widget with thresholds applied.
  3. Click on the scripted Export button.
  4. Select PDF as output with "All data".
  5. Notice that the output PDF does not contain the Threshold symbols from the first table.

Cause

  • This is a by-design behavior.
  • Non-ASCII characters (such as threshold symbols) are not included when the story is exported to a PDF file via script API with tables fully displayed as a report.

Resolution

Use the default export option instead of the script API.
