Hello,

I am a newbie... Can some one guide me how to export pChart to pdf format?

Thanks.

Hi,

Did you receive an answer to this question ?
I would also like to have a way to export pChart
plots in pdf format. I mean real vector based pdf file
and not a pdf that includes a raster image.

Is GD able to generate pdf ?
Could GD graphic engine be changed to cairo (http://www.cairographics.org/) ?

Regards
Patrick

Hi,

the easiest solution to your problem is to use an external library like FPDF or TCPDF.

I would suggest you to export your graph to a image file in the location you want, and use TCPDF or FPDF to print that image to a pdf file.

Hope this can be useful to your needs.

cbaldinu is correct, the easiest way is to

1. Create your chart (Note: Make it MUCH bigger than if creating for web. ie 1000px wide)
2. Write your chart to a temp file ($myPicture->autoOutput("temp/image.png");
3. Import your image into a TCPDF Document (http://www.tcpdf.org/examples/example_009.phps)
4. Delete your temp image

I really like your way of expressing the opinion and sharing the information.
