DocRaptor HTML TO PDF API

Code Example: ChartJS

DocRaptor does not directly support canvas-based charting. However, you can dump your chart data to an image tag using javascript. We recommend choosing one of charting libraries we fully support. However, if you are already using ChartJS in your document and want to continue, this is an example of how to do that
