Qlik NPrinting Release Note – February / May 2021

09/05/2021

NPrinting is the add-on module to Qlik Sense and QlikView that allows you to create static reports in PDF, Pixel Perfect or powerpoint format.

For several years now, NPrinting has been acquired by Qlik and has given many developers the means to do automated reporting for mass distribution and alerts efficiently from their applications. (See our article on the subject) Currently the editor offers in the SaaS version new features called Qlik Reporting Service and Qlik Application Automation which take up similar features to NPrinting without allowing to reach a result as successful.

Today we will go over some of the new features in the February and May 2021 releases:
