Welcome to the Q&A Forum

This is still a major drawback.

The reports look terrible and are not searchable.

Please fix this design flaw. The older method worked.

Hi Erin

I do appreciate the reply.

However, a little more feedback, this is actually the second time we have reported the problem and both times Moz have not understood the issue.

PDFs are fine. No problem there. I prefer and expect PDF files.

The problem is that your system renders the content of these PDFs as images, rather than searchable, selectable text with images used only for graphs, logos, trimming etc. Is this clear?

This is actually a huge slip up as far as I’m concerned. A company that assists in search marketing efforts delivers reports, the content of which is not searchable or indexable. Do you see the disparity?

Please check the file I sent you last week. This report was exported from Moz yesterday. Export monthly reports from other Moz Analytics profiles. Let me know if you find any differences between the two.

If you still do not understand the issue, please let me know. I really want to see this issue resolved and am willing to help.

This is not a feature request, it is basic characteristic of a PDF report (present in the Pro reports) that is missing from the Analytics reports.

This question is not answered.

Dear Moz and Community

Why are the PDF reports generated in the new system made up of images rather than searchable text?

This has the following consequences:

1. Text is not selectable / copy ready
2. Text is not searchable
3. Text is not indexable
4. Images are rendered in low res making text fuzzy and images / graphs low quality

Quite surprising that this has been in place for several months now.

When can we expect a solution?

We're being objective and impartial.... the PDF report is low quality. Period.

It's much poorer quality than the old PDF reports. We've viewed this on several devices. At 100% the text and images look worse than a screen shot.

Opening ticket.

The new reports look great http://analytics.moz.com/dashboard/overview/

But when I export to PDF, the text is low quality and images are low quality. Not as good as the old report. In fact, the PDF is such low quality we are not providing them to our customers. We're using the old reports.

ETA for HQ PDF Export please?
