Hi @Experts ,

Hello Sai,

If i am not mistaken, there is no out of box script available to export the dashboard from console as pdf to external drive.
May be you could use export to PDF option and locally design some scripting to push it to your desired drive.

fore more info see - Exporting Amazon QuickSight analyses or dashboards as PDFs - Amazon QuickSight
alternatively you could use paginated reporting to share as pdf/csv or excel to users outside quickSight using Snapshot export API, here the exported pdf will be stored in S3 which can have pre-signed ULR for end users to download.

For more info see -Deliver Amazon QuickSight paginated reports to non-QuickSight users | AWS Business Intelligence Blog

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Deep
