Export Charts to PDF in jQuery

April 28, 2026
Enable data visualization with PDF export capabilities in jQuery, allowing users to easily distribute charts as PDF files directly from the browser.

Exporting charts to PDF involves generating a static, portable document version of a chart that preserves its visual structure and data representation. This capability is valuable for reporting, compliance, and sharing insights in a consistent format that does not depend on a live application or browser environment. It allows teams to distribute visual data in a widely accepted file format, ensures layout stability across devices, and supports archival or print-ready use cases without requiring additional tooling.

Several jQuery chart components allow you to export to PDF, including:

  • DevExtreme jQuery Chart (part of DevExtreme Complete by DevExpress) lets you export charts to PDF with customizable layouts, preserving fidelity, annotations, and data clarity.
  • Kendo UI jQuery Charts (part of Kendo UI by Telerik) provides built-in chart export to PDF through its drawing API for direct browser-based document generation.
  • FusionCharts Suite XT includes native PDF export capabilities for charts, supporting both client-side generation and server-side services for flexible deployment.
  • jQWidgets Chart (part of jQWidgets) offers a dedicated saveAsPDF method within its API, enabling the direct export of chart content to PDF with optional server-side handling.
