Report Chart Export Limitations: PDF Format Does Not Include Visualizations (CRM)

When exporting reports in PDF format, charts and graphs are not included in the exported file. This is a current technical limitation of the PDF export functionality. Only raw data exports to PDF, not chart visualizations.

When This Affects You

This limitation impacts users who want to:

  • Share report visualizations via PDF export

  • Print reports that include charts and graphs

  • Archive reports with their visual elements intact

Current Export Behavior

The report export system works as follows:

  • PDF Export: Exports raw data only, no charts or graphs
    ​

  • CSV Export: Exports raw data in spreadsheet format
    ​

  • Excel Export: Exports raw data in Excel format
    ​

Even though the user interface may suggest that charts should be included in PDF exports, this functionality is not currently supported.
​

Alternative Solutions

If you need to share or archive reports with their visual elements, consider these workarounds:

  • Screenshot: Take a screenshot of the report page showing both data and charts
    ​


    ​


    ​


    ​

  • Browser Print: Use your browser's print function to print to PDF, though chart visibility may still be limited
    ​

  • Export Raw Data: Export to Excel/CSV and recreate charts in your preferred application

⚠️ Important Notes

This is a known system limitation, not a configuration issue or user error. The export functionality is working as designed, despite the UI potentially suggesting otherwise.
