I havent tried charts with princexml, but flying-saucer has capability to do custom rendering. So if you want, you can use a service to get image of your chart and then render that in the pdf as image.
You can try using FlyingSaucer (https://code.google.com/p/flying-saucer/) It takes in HTML and gives PDF. It also supports print related CSS3 properties and its open source. May be it cannot compete with Prince, but it is a good open source alternative
SEEKING WORK - India or Remote
Enterprise application developer with specialization in Java, Spring, Flex, .net and MySQL.
I have 7+ years of experience working on Java, Flex, .net, MySQL and Spring based applications. I believe in Agile and TDD driven development.
One of the projects which I had developed is at http://bit.ly/Uj42Ql .
I am pretty reasonable. This is my first time on hacker news, so probably my pitch is not solid. I learn iteratively. But I can deliver on the commitments.
Do contact me (email id in profile), I am from India, but I am a good developer. (I know indian developers have bad reputation around here).
I am on the other side of the ODesk. I am a fairly good coder with 7+ years of experience under my belt. I have worked mostly on enterprise side of coding. So I dont have much to show to the clients.
Hence clients dont give me projects. In my regular day to day job, I communicate with the folks on the other side of the planet.
I am not able to resolve this problem and hence stopped visiting odesk.
