Retaining Colors in PDF report

strive

Hi,

We have a dashboard with couple of charts. The dashboard is developed using simple XML.
We have set colors for these charts. The colors are not retained as-is in the rendered PDF reports.

I know for the fact that browser interprets the styling stuff.
Is it possible to achieve the same by forcing the inbuilt pdf server to retain the colors?

Thanks,
Strive

PDF generation has changed over the different versions of splunk.

There used to be the pdf server addon that did a "like for like"/"as-is" dashboard generation. Support for this stopped at version 6.

There is another app "Report Sender" that can potentially do a very similar job here -> https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/2614/

I havn't personally tested it myself yet.
