FusionCharts Suite XT uses JavaScript to generate charts in the browser, using SVG and VML (for older IE). If you need to export the charts as images or PDF, you need a server-side helper library to convert the SVG to image/PDF. These export handlers allow you to take the SVG from FusionCharts charts and convert to image/PDF.

• A chart is generated in the browser. When the export to image or PDF button is clicked, the chart generates the SVG string to represent the current state and sends to the export handler. The export handler URL is configured via chart attributes.
• The export handler accepts the SVG string along with chart configuration like chart type, width, height etc., and uses SharpVectors library to convert to image or PDF.
• The export handler either writes the image or PDF to disk, based on the configuration provided by chart, or streams it back to the browser.

• Set the URL of FCExporter.aspx from the above web application into the chart's exportHandler attribute
• Make sure IUSR has proper read/write permission in the Exported_Images folder

<system.web>
	<httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0"/>
</system.web>

• JS error is thrown during svg export if any image, present in same domain, is used in chart. You may need to add the following configuration in your 'web.config' file:
