Hi Splunkers,

I’m doing a trend analysis and showcasing colors for one of the panels in my dashboard which is required by my management. But for some reason, colors not reflecting when I try to take a pdf out of it.  
As a part of my job duties, I have to send over dashboard pdfs to team members. Please kindly advice in how I can fix this. 
P.S: Attaching an image of the dashboard panel

so the field trend showing up but not the colors when I take pdf.

The built-in PDF action is trash.  That is why there are so many others on splunkbase:

I didn’t know that we can use third party apps for pdfs. Thanks for sharing this info. 
Yes, Splunk’s pdf generator is horrible. 

Any app that you recommend out of those from the link you provided.
TIA.
