# Download PDF reports

Save a snapshot of your interactive Builder dashboard by downloading it as a PDF. This feature lets you export a screenshot of your map along with any necessary legends, the map description, widgets, and parameters. Once saved as a PDF, you can easily share the file offline, email it, or use it in any other way you utilize PDF files.

{% hint style="info" %}
To ensure PDF reports remain manageable, table widgets included in the report are limited to **displaying only the first 10 rows and visible columns**. For full dataset access, use the [**Export Data**](https://docs.carto.com/carto-user-manual/maps/exporting-data) functionality.
{% endhint %}

## **Download a PDF report as an Editor**

The "Download PDF report" button is located as a quick action next to the "Share" button at the top right corner of the Builder interface. It will be enabled as long as there are exportable data sources available in Builder.
