Collabion Charts for SharePoint allows you to export your charts as an image or a PDF (Portable Document Format) file. You can export the chart as an image in two formats-JPEG and PNG. You can also specify whether you want to export the chart at client-side or server-side.
Furthermore, in the Image/PDF tabbed section, you can customize the appearance of the progress message that will be displayed while the chart is being exported. The progress message indicates the percentage of the chart that has been exported.
To export the chart, you first need to render it in the browser. After the chart has been rendered in the browser, you can use the context menu to export the chart data and save it as an image or PDF file.



In the Image/PDF tabbed section, you can do the following:

Enable export of the chart as an image or PDF file

  • Select the Enable exporting charts as image or PDF check box to enable export of the chart as an image or PDF.

Note: Clear the Enable exporting charts as image or PDF check box to disable the export of chart as an image or PDF file. If this check box is cleared, all the relevant fields are deactivated.

Specify the location where the chart will be exported

You can save the exported chart at client-side or server-side.

  • In the Export at list, select the appropriate location.

Note: To export multiple charts simultaneously, select the Batch option in the Export at list. You can export the chart data by using the context menu and paste the generated CSV data to clipboard.

Specify the location of the export handler

A chart handler is a processor which converts the exported chart into image or PDF file. When you specify the location of the exported chart as server-side, you also need to specify the location of the export handler.
