Exporting specific sections of microstrategy document to PDF

I have a user requirement wherein I want to hide the document "page header" and "document header" section during PDF export. We have some filter selectors (panel selector to select attributes and then attribute element selector) which need to be accessible during web execution for interactivity but hidden during export to PDF/Export.

I have tried few options but none seem to work as per expectation -

  1. MSTR provides option to hide certain sections of document in web and show in PDF but not vice-versa.
  2. Tried creating a web url to point to a copy of the same document which is without the header section and having prompts for those filter selections. However, we I was not able to pick the dynamic value from the filter panel and pass on to the prompted report. I was only able to pass hardcoded values to document prompt in order to run it for the filters selected in the previous document.

Challenges -

  1. Users do not want a prompt document to begin with so we cannot pass the prompt answers from source to target document using hyperlinks.
  2. We would like to avoid using SDK as much as possible and keep the customization restricted to Web URL
