The workaround is to convert the color names to HEX, for example through the following HexConverter() method: ASPX: <telerik:RadClientExportManager runat="server" ID="RadClientExportManager1"> </telerik:RadClientExportManager> <telerik:RadButton ID="RadButton1" runat="server" OnClientClicked="exportRadHtmlChart" Text="Export RadHtmlChart to PDF" AutoPostBack="false" UseSubmitBehavior="false"></telerik:RadButton> <telerik:RadHtmlChart ID="RadHtmlChart1" runat="server" Width="600" Height="400"> <PlotArea> <Series> <telerik:ColumnSeries Name="Series 1" DataFieldY="myValues" ColorField="Color"> </telerik:ColumnSeries> </Series> </PlotArea> </telerik:RadHtmlChart> <script> var $ = $telerik.$; function exportRadHtmlChart() { $find('<%=RadClientExportManager1.ClientID%>').exportPDF($(".RadHtmlChart")); } </script> C#: protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { DataTable dt = GetData(); for (int i = 0; i < dt.Rows.Count; i++) { //Not all Color Names can be exported // dt.Rows[i]["Color"] = ColorTranslator.ToHtml(GetColor(i)); //Convert colors to HEX works properly dt.Rows[i]["Color"] = HexConverter(GetColor(i)); } RadHtmlChart1.DataSource = dt; RadHtmlChart1.DataBind(); } public static DataTable GetData() { DataTable dt = new DataTable("ChargeData"); dt.Columns.Add("myValues", typeof(int)); dt.Columns.Add("Color", typeof(string)); dt.Rows.Add(11, ""); dt.Rows.Add(12, ""); dt.Rows.Add(13, ""); dt.Rows.Add(14, ""); dt.Rows.Add(15, ""); dt.Rows.Add(16, ""); dt.Rows.Add(17, ""); dt.Rows.Add(18, ""); dt.Rows.Add(19, ""); dt.Rows.Add(20, ""); return dt; } public static String HexConverter(System.Drawing.Color c) { return "#" + c.R.ToString("X2") + c.G.ToString("X2") + c.B.ToString("X2"); } public static Color GetColor(int index) { return colors[index % colors.Length]; } public static readonly Color[] colors = { Color.Orange, Color.Violet, Color.MediumSeaGreen, Color.HotPink, Color.Black, Color.DarkGoldenrod, Color.DarkMagenta, Color.Chocolate, Color.DarkOliveGreen, Color.DarkTurquoise };
