Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Lets you export the current dashboard view from one menu path as PDF, copy it as an image, or export it as an image.	Microsoft documentation describes exporting reports and dashboards as PDF or PNG, and exporting chart data.	Google Sheets officially supports downloading a chart as SVG, PNG, or PDF.	Notion officially supports exporting a page or database as PDF, and exporting content as Markdown & CSV.	Adobe Acrobat officially supports converting PDFs to JPG, PNG, TIFF, and other image formats.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS combines PDF export, image copy, and image export in the same dashboard menu, which is convenient for quick sharing of the current visual result.	Compared with WPS: the official page focuses on report or dashboard export and data export, but does not show a direct copy-as-image action for quick sharing.	Compared with WPS: the official flow focuses on downloading a single chart rather than exporting a full dashboard snapshot.	Compared with WPS: the export target is mainly a page or database, not a dedicated dashboard snapshot workflow.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat mainly converts an existing PDF into image formats, so the workflow usually starts after a PDF already exists.

Overall Conclusion
If you need to export the current dashboard view directly, WPS keeps the workflow concentrated in one place and supports both file export and quick image sharing. Other products also provide export options, but their official workflows are more focused on charts, pages, or existing PDF files.
