Hi List,

currently I'm working on a reporting app which contains of several  
Datagrids and some kinds of charts. One requirement is to create PDFs  
from the app.

In my app the initial tab navigation view of a report is the results  
in a DataGrid, the Charts are viewable by switching the tab-navigation.

To create a PDF I used AlivePDF and for testing the LCDS PDF creation  
mechanism. In both approaches the charts come as an image into the PDF.

In my testcases the charts in the images have some strange  
proportions: the legend is too wide and the chart itself too slim if  
it is not displayed once before in the app. For my app this is very  
bad because I can't tell the user to click through all chart views  
before generating a PDF.

I tried creationPolicy="all", but that didn't help.

Is this behaviour known? Is there some workaround? Is it a completely  
bad idea to generate PDFs from GUI objects?

Regards,
Christoph

P.S.: just leave me a note if you want to have example PDFs
