See ManageIQ Reporting (Euwe-3)

root@miq01 ~]# rpm -qa |grep -i prince
prince-11.3-1.x86_64

I knew I wasn’t the only one who had this problem :wink: ! Glad the information is still useful.

Im on gaprindashvili-1, unfortunately, the pdf export only produced tables, not chart/graph desired :disappointed_relieved:

Indeed, looks like we’ve lost the ability to print charts in PDFs since the chart rendering moved from the backend to the javascript c3 charting lib.

This may be another argument to push for in-browser pdf printing…
