  Saving a chart as a pdf file

Hello,

I work with C# and I'm looking for the simplest way to save a chart as a pdf file.

I don't find the answer in the documentation, but maybe I missed it.

An example would be fine.

Thank you

Jeff

Hi jeff,

You can use BaseChart.makeChart. See:

https://www.advsofteng.com/doc/cdnet.htm#BaseChart.makeChart.htm

For example:

c.makeChart("c:/temp/aaa.pdf");

If you use the above code, please make sure the "c:/temp" directory exists, and you have write access to it. If you are writing a web application, please make sure the web server account have write access to the directory.

The followings are some of the web and desktop examples included in ChartDirector that can save the file as PDF.

Hope this can help.
