Hi Brijesh,   
   
Greetings, we have analyzed your requirement but unfortunately, we were unable to extract the attachment in your update.  
 
However, you can export the SfChart to PDF by getting stream of SfChart, then preparing PdfDocument with that stream as per the below code snippet.  
 
Code snippet 
  private void ChartToPDF() 
        { 
            MemoryStream outStream = new MemoryStream(); 
            chart.Save(outStream, new BmpBitmapEncoder()); 
            PdfPage page = pdfDoc.Pages.Add(); 
            PdfBitmap img = new PdfBitmap(outStream); 
            page.Graphics.DrawImage(img, 0, 0, 500, 250); 
            outStream.Close(); 
        } 
 
        private void SavePDF(string pdfFile) 
        { 
            pdfDoc.Save(pdfFile); 
            System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(pdfFile); 
        } 
         
        private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) 
        { 
            pdfDoc = new PdfDocument(); 
            ChartToPDF(); 
            SavePDF("chartpdf.pdf"); 
        } 
 
We have prepared a sample based on this, please find the sample from the following location.  
 
 
Hope it helps you.  
  
Regards,

Hi Muneesh,

But still i'm facing couple of issues regarding SfChart when it is exported to PDF file. 
     1) It always give black background of SfChart(when PDF is created successfully).
     2) How to make SfChart to fit in PDF page.

I have also attached a sample. I hope this time it will work.

Hi Brijesh, 
 
We have analyzed your queries and prepared the required solutions. 
 
Query 1: It always give black background of SfChart(when PDF is created successfully). 
 
The default background for the SfChart is transparent, so the background appears black in PDF conversion. This can be overcome by setting white Background color for the chart as per the below code snippet. 
 
Code Snippet 
 
 
        <syncfusion:SfChart Background="White"> 
         … 
        </syncfusion:SfChart> 
 
 
Query 2: How to make SfChart to fit in PDF page. 
 
To make the chart fit in the pdf page, you have to set SfChart size and PdfGrphics (page.Graphics) size as same. 
 
SfChart 
 
 
        <syncfusion:SfChart Width="300" Height="200"> 
         … 
        </syncfusion:SfChart> 
 
 
              PdfGraphics 
               
 
        private void ChartToPDF() 
        { 
            … 
            page.Graphics.DrawImage(img, 0, 0, 300, 200); 
        } 
 
 
 
SfChart HorzontalAlignment must be left and VerticalAlignment must be top. 
 
SfChart 
 
 
        <syncfusion:SfChart HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top"> 
         … 
        </syncfusion:SfChart> 
 
 
 
If margin is applied for the SfChart, twice the displacement has to be given for the PdfGraphics x and y position. 
 
 
private void ChartToPDF() 
        { 
            page.Graphics.DrawImage(img, (float)(-ChartMargin.Left * 2) - AdjustmentCoefficient, (float)(-ChartMargin.Top * 2) - AdjustmentCoefficient, 300, 200); 
        } 
 
 
 
We have modified the sample as per your requirement. 
 
 
Regards,
Muneesh Kumar G.

Hi Brijesh, 
 
We have analyzed your requirement and you can achieve this by setting Height, Width for SfChart as per the below code snippet.  
 
Code snippet 
<Grid > 
        <Grid.DataContext> 
            <local:ViewModel></local:ViewModel> 
        </Grid.DataContext> 
        <Grid.RowDefinitions> 
            <RowDefinition Height="8*"/> 
            <RowDefinition Height="2*"/> 
        </Grid.RowDefinitions> 
        <Button Content="Save" Click="Button_Click" Height="30" Width="70"  
                Grid.Row="1" 
                Margin="5"/> 
        <chart:SfChart   x:Name="chart"  Background="White" Height="300" Width="600"    
                         HorizontalAlignment="Left" 
                         VerticalAlignment="Top"> 
                         .. 
        </chart:SfChart> 
        
    </Grid>   
 
Also, exporting rendering from (0,0) position. So, SfChart HorizontalAlignment must be left and VerticalAlignment must be top.  
 
 
Exported Path:  ...\WPF_Sample\Sample\bin\Debug 
 
Exported image:  
 
Please let us know if you have any queries.  
 
Thanks,  
Muneesh Kumar G.
