Exporting Charts as Image and PDF
FusionCharts Suite XT uses JavaScript to render charts in the browser using SVG and VML. A prominent feature is the ability to export the rendered charts in the JPG, PNG, SVG, and PDF formats.
The export is done using a server-side helper library that converts the SVG to the required format. VML can also be exported as it is converted to SVG internally before exporting. During the export process, the data to be exported is sent to the FusionCharts servers for processing and generating the output in the required format.
You must have an active internet connection for this feature to work.
To enable server-side exporting, the chart level attribute exportEnabled is set to 1. The 
menu button is then visible in the top-right corner of the chart. Click/hover over this menu button to see the dropdown menu with the export options, as shown in the image below:
Select the required format; the chart is downloaded to your machine in the selected format.
A column 2D chart with export enabled is shown below. Click the menu button and select a format to export the chart.

</html>To process the export data on your own server, you can configure one of the export handlers by following the Setup Private Export Server guide.
Starting version 3.8.0, FusionCharts Suite XT has also enabled the client-side export feature. The client-side export feature removes the round-trip involved in exporting from a server while also addressing the data confidentiality issues that may arise from using a publicly hosted server. To enable client-side exporting, the exportAtClientSide attribute (also a chart level attribute) is set to 1.
