Report Writer Not Generating Charts or other data visualizations

Hi, 

We are using the Report Designer to edit and save XML content to mongo. Using that data, we are loading it into a stream and having the Report Writer convert it to PDF content. However, with certain data visualizations like the Column Chart, they will show in the designer but not in the PDF that the Writer made. I saw in https://help.boldreports.com/embedded-reporting/aspnet-core-reporting/report-writer/limitations/ you need to have PhantomJS to render data visualizations, is that true for my workflow? 


The PDF correctly shows some tables, but not anything complex like a chart. Am I missing something or is the PhantomJS really required?


Thank you!

Hi August,


Thanks for contacting Bold Reports support.


Yes, Phantom JS was needed for data visualization items. Using Phantom JS we create the image for  data visualization items. if you have not used it in your application, we suggest you use Phantom JS.

Hi Manoranjan Rajendran, I already tried your proposed solution with phatom JS but it is still not working. I am attaching the method that I'm using.
