docs: document PNG/PDF chart export options
PR #38535 added PNG (transparent/solid background) and PDF export
alongside the renamed JPEG screenshot export, but the end-user docs
never mentioned it.

When the **Search Box** is visible in a Table chart, the **Download** action exports only the rows currently visible after the search filter is applied — not the full underlying dataset. This matches the visual output and is intentional. To export the full dataset regardless of search state, use the **Download as CSV** option from the chart's three-dot menu in the dashboard or from the Explore chart toolbar before applying a search filter.
+### Exporting a Chart as an Image or PDF
+
+Alongside the raw-data export options (CSV, JSON, Excel), a chart's three-dot menu — in a dashboard or from the Explore chart toolbar — offers a few ways to export a visual snapshot of the chart:
+
+- **Export screenshot (jpeg)** — a single-click JPEG screenshot of the chart.
+- **Export screenshot (png)** — opens a submenu with **Transparent background** and **Solid background** options. The solid option uses the current theme's background color. PNG produces a higher-quality image than the JPEG export.
+- **Export as PDF** — downloads the chart as a PDF file.
+
+The dropdown menu is briefly hidden while the screenshot or PDF is being captured so it doesn't appear in the exported file. In Explore, these image and PDF options are available from both the **Export All Data** and **Export current view** submenus.
+
### Sharing a Specific Tab
When a dashboard has tabs, each tab gets its own shareable URL. Navigate to the tab you want to share and copy the URL from your browser's address bar — the tab anchor is encoded in the URL so that anyone opening the link lands directly on that tab.
