Export

Org Chart JS support the following export formats:
- PDF - A PDF file can be viewed, shared, and printed on any platform provided that users have Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Reader, or a PDF-compatible reader installed on their computers. A PDF file can also be uploaded to an intranet or the Web. You can also export an individual node with his children or an entire Org Chart JS to a PDF file.
- PNG - A PNG file is an image file stored in the Portable Network Graphic (PNG) format. It contains a bitmap of indexed colors and uses lossless compression, similar to a .GIF file but without copyright limitations. PNG files are commonly used to store graphics for web images.
- SVG - SVG images and their related behaviors are defined in XML text files which means they can be searched, indexed, scripted and compressed. Additionally this means they can be created and edited with any text editor and with drawing software.
- CSV - A Comma Separated Values (CSV) file is a plain text file that contains a list of data. These files are often used for exchanging data between different applications. For example, databases and contact managers often support CSV files.
- JSON - JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. The data that we load in the tree is in JSON format.
Adding export options
In order to enable PDF export you need to add node menu item in menu option and/or nodeMenu
let chart = new OrgChart(document.getElementById("tree"), { menu: { pdf: { text: "Export PDF" }, png: { text: "Export PNG" }, svg: { text: "Export SVG" }, csv: { text: "Export CSV" }, json: { text: "Export JSON" } }, nodeMenu: { pdf: { text: "Export PDF" }, png: { text: "Export PNG" }, svg: { text: "Export SVG" } }, ... });
Here is the result:
Custom Export options
Export collapsed children:
By default collapsed children will not be exported, if you want to change that you have to add your own export node menu item
function pdf(nodeId) { chart.exportPDF({filename: "MyFileName.pdf", expandChildren: true, nodeId: nodeId}); } function png(nodeId) { chart.exportPNG({filename: "MyFileName.png", expandChildren: true, nodeId: nodeId}); } function svg(nodeId) { chart.exportSVG({filename: "MyFileName.svg", expandChildren: true, nodeId: nodeId}); } let chart = new OrgChart(document.getElementById("tree"), { menu: { export_pdf: { text: "Export PDF", icon: OrgChart.icon.pdf(24, 24, "#7A7A7A"), onClick: pdf }, export_png: { text: "Export PNG", icon: OrgChart.icon.png(24, 24, "#7A7A7A"), onClick: png }, export_svg: { text: "Export SVG", icon: OrgChart.icon.svg(24, 24, "#7A7A7A"), onClick: svg } }, nodeMenu: { export_pdf: { text: "Export PDF", icon: OrgChart.icon.pdf(24, 24, "#7A7A7A"), onClick: pdf }, export_png: { text: "Export PNG", icon: OrgChart.icon.png(24, 24, "#7A7A7A"), onClick: png }, export_svg: { text: "Export SVG", icon: OrgChart.icon.svg(24, 24, "#7A7A7A"), onClick: svg } }, ... });
In the demo below the chart is collapsed, the children will be expanded on export
Export to A4 format:
function pdf(nodeId) {    chart.exportPDF({ format: "A4" }); } let chart = new OrgChart(document.getElementById("tree"), { menu: { export_pdf: { text: "Export PDF", icon: OrgChart.icon.pdf(24, 24, "#7A7A7A"), onClick: pdf }, } ... });
Add header and footer:
function pdf(nodeId) {    chart.exportPDF({ format: "A4", header: 'My Header', footer: 'My Footer. Page {current-page} of {total-pages}' }); } let chart = new OrgChart(document.getElementById("tree"), { menu: { export_pdf: { text: "Export PDF", icon: OrgChart.icon.pdf(24, 24, "#7A7A7A"), onClick: pdf }, } ... });
Padding on export:
The padding option sets the padding area on all four sides of the tree. You could Add padding on export and preview.
let chart = new OrgChart(document.getElementById("tree"), { ... menu: { export_pdf: { text: "Export PDF", icon: OrgChart.icon.pdf(24, 24, "#7A7A7A"), onClick: pdf } }, }); function pdf(nodeId) {    chart.exportPDF({ format: "A4", padding: 50 }); }
PDF Preview
 OrgChart.pdfPrevUI.show(chart, { format: "A4", header: 'My Header', footer: 'My Footer. Page {current-page} of {total-pages}' });
Profile export
You can export the profile (node details form) in PDF or PNG.
Example:
   chart.exportPDFProfile({id: 5})
CSV and SVG are client side exports, PDF and PNG are calling BALKAN OrgChartJS export server.
There may be cases where you don't want to use BALKAN OrgChartJS's export server running at https://balkan.app/export, for instance if you are running a secure website or if you don't want your data to be passed to https://balkan.app. In that cases you have to setup your export server and to change exportUrl option
let chart = new OrgChart(document.getElementById("tree"), { exportUrl: "https://MyServer.com/export" ... });
MyServer is the domain name of you server. It could be hosted under http or https.
Export arguments
You could use exportstart and exportend events to change the export behavior.
CSV/XML
exportstart args: | exportend args: |
args.ext args.filename args.nodes args.openInNewTab |
args.content args.ext args.filename args.nodes |
Here is an example of how you could get only the name and the title fiedls, changing args.nodes:
chart.on('exportstart', function(semder, args){ if (args.ext == 'csv' || args.ext == 'xml'){ var newNodes = []; for(var i = 0; i < args.nodes.length; i++){ newNodes.push({ name: args.nodes[i].name, title: args.nodes[i].title }) } args.nodes = newNodes; } });
Exporting Styles
You can export styles using the property args.styles
HTML:
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Gochi+Hand" rel="stylesheet"> <style id="myStyles"> .node { font-family: 'Gochi Hand'; } .node.HR rect { fill: #E99113; } </style>
JavaScript:
 chart.on('exportstart', function(sender, args){ args.styles += '<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Gochi+Hand" rel="stylesheet">'; args.styles += document.getElementById('myStyles').outerHTML; });
Here we have a demo on how to export styles in Angular.
