Hi Lele76,

Yes. The simplest method is to use BaseChart.makeChart to save the chart as a PDF file. The exact code depends on your programming language. (There are many programming language editions of ChartDirector.) In C#/Java, it is like:

// assume "c" is the chart object
// save the chart as PDF
c.makeChart("c:\path\to\aaa.pdf");

There are also several examples included in ChartDirector that demonstrates saving the chart as PDF or even creating a simple PDF report. For example, the followings are examples included in ChartDirector for .NET,

Hope this can help.
