Limitations

Some of the restrictions for exporting reports are listed below:

•If you use a custom font in your application, it is assumed that you have the required license to use that font in Qlik Sense output. To ensure that your fonts are licensed, you should use the many open source fonts available in Qlik Sense for designing app content.

•If you have the required licenses for a font that is not available in the default Qlik Sense themes, see Creating themes with custom fonts to learn how to add the font to a custom theme.

•If characters that are not supported in the selected font are used in embedded app content (not in text sections), these characters will be rendered in the PowerPoint or PDF file with a font in which they are supported. When using a custom font, the behavior may be different.

•If you use a custom theme in your application to define the use of fonts (e.g. by adding a font file directly to the theme), the fonts rendered in exported application content may not be the same as those you have used in your application.
