Mendix - Generate PDF with charts


I am trying to generate a PDF with mendix but I can not find any way to add my charts to the PDF. The charts I have already built for my dashboard now I just want to include them in a PDF report that is sent to the management.

Any clues are welcomed.


Solution

  • Adding chart to PDFs is not supported natively by Mendix. To achieve your desired functionality you will need to rely on third party extensions.
    I recommend Templator - Document (PDF) generation alternative which you can find in the Mendix app store https://appstore.home.mendix.com/link/app/114043/. With this module you can use the same charts that you have built for a page in the generated PDF.
