Hello,
I am trying to compile a report template containing a chart with Stimulsoft Report JS in Node.js. Using PDF format the export works properly, but just changing the format in DOC or PPT something goes wrong:
- DOC: the output document does not contain the chart (and without showing errors during the process);
- PPT: fails the process without producing an output file showing various errors.

This problem happens even with other report templates. I am pretty sure the cause is related to the chart, indeed, if I try to edit the same mrt file removing the chart only, I can produce the ppt file correctly (even if the process always is interrupted showing some errors finally). Although, by the Stimulsoft Designer any exporting format works perfectly, so there should be a problem in stimulsoft-reports-js library.

I prepared a very simple code to show you the problem:
- index.js, the main execution file, which creates all the possible output documents (doc, ppt, pdf);
- reports, a directory which contains the mrt files with and without the chart;
- exports, a directory where will be stored the output documents.
Pay attention: the code contains the lines to produce ppt documents, but I just commented them to avoid the interruption of the execution (since both cases produces some errors).

I hope you should figure out how to solve this problem.
Thank you!
Best regards,
Michele

Hello,

JS technology is designed to work in browsers, so it does not have a built-in library for working with graphics.
When working in browsers, we convert graphics using the browser. In NodeJs these methods do not work, we can only use third-party libraries.
When last year we studied the question, we could not find suitable libraries, some technical nuances interfered everywhere. So, unfortunately, this issue has not been resolved at the moment.

Thank you.

It's very sad!

Is it possible to generate PPT, Word, Excel use .net in the backend, without browser?

Hello,

Yes, you can use Web or NET products for that task.

Thank you.

Hello,

The issue is fixed. The fix will be available in the next major release build.

Thank you.
