Integration quick charts into the salesforce

1

How can we use quick chart to populate a dynamic chart in salesforce PDF template?

Hi @Nitin,

Yes, QuickChart images can be embedded in a Salesforce PDF template. Have a look at the Visualforce PDF guide in our documentation.

In general, the steps you’d follow are:

  1. Create your desired chart using QuickChart’s Chart Builder or API.

  2. Get the URL of the rendered chart image by following the instructions provided in the documentation.

  3. Insert the URL as an image in your Salesforce PDF template.

I followed the example provided, the chart displays correctly when the visualforce page is rendered as a word document, but displays as a broken image still when the visualforce page is rendered as a pdf. Has anyone been able to correctly render the chart in a pdf? I’ve inspected the url generated and it is correct.

I added a remote site record with “https://quickchart.io” as the url and the chart displayed in the pdf.

Thanks @irefuse for following up here - and sorry for the mistake in the documentation. I’ll get it updated.
