Export to pdf and print

[Dhirender]

Hi, 

I'm using Syncfusion for asp.net web forms. I'd like to know whether we can export the chart control to pdf, excel and csv. Also, please let me know if print functionality can be implemented. If yes, could you provide me a sample project for the same?

Thanks and regards

Dhirender

Hi Dhirender,

Thanks for using Syncfusion product.

We have analyzed this. Currently chart can be exported as image only. And then printing the image can be done manually.

We have already logged task to export chart in excel format.

The below shows the step for saving the rendered chart as image.

From version 12.3.0.36 exporting is done without using any other libraries.

To export a chart, you have to render it in HTML5 canvas. This is done by setting the below option

[ASPX]

  <ej:Chart ID="Chart1" runat="server" EnableCanvasRendering="True"> 

        </ej:Chart>

And also the button/image to perform export should be place inside <a> anchor tag.

[HTML]

<a id="download" download="Chart.png" style="float: right; cursor: pointer;" >

   <img src="../images/chart/export.png" title="Export Chart"/>

</a>

We have made a sample to export the chart rendered for your reference.

Find it form the below link

 
Export_sample_ASP.zip

Sample is coded in Defalut.aspx page

 

The attached file contains export sample in both JS and ASP platforms.

The below code snippet shows the download method.

[JS]

function download() {

    var canvas = $("#Chart1").ejChart("exportChart");

    var dt = canvas.toDataURL();

    this.rel='nofollow' href = dt;

  }

Please let us know if you have any concern.

what happens when we are not using ej:chart?

Is it possible to export to PDF?

Hi BotStatz,

Can you explain your requirement with more details, whether you want chart in PDF for the data without using the ej:chart.
