Timechart - Use HTML Settings for a Scheduled report

Is there a way to schedule PDF delivery of a dashboard that has specific HTML settings?

My issue is that when I try and schedule PDF delivery of a Dashboard, when I schedule it, the search is converted to simply '| noop'

If I try and create a new report with the data, it automatically creates a Bar Chart based (not the Line Chart I want) based on the search and also doesn't use the specific colors I want to use.

The search is below.

Thanks!!!

Thanks woodcock. Unfortunately, I'm not in a position where I can install any apps on our Splunk instance.

@chrisschum if instead of Dashboard you use a Scheduled Saved Search you can change the Saved Search configuration to set the color option. Refer to the following answer with the available option with saved search.
