There is no direct way to export chart to PDF. You need to,

1. Create reports using report editor (Reports->Edit Reports)

2. Add a new report

3. Drag chart object you want to see in pdf

4. Install pdf printer e.g Bullzip printer,qlikview pdf

5. Use macro in edit module to create pdf ( configure bull zip and reports created in macro)

sample macro:

sub createPDF

printReportPDF "C:\sample.pdf"

ActiveDocument.GetApplication.Sleep 2000

ActiveDocument.PrintReport "RP02", "QlikViewPDF"

ActiveDocument.GetApplication.Sleep 10000

end sub

Function printReportPDF(pdfOutputFile)

Set WSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

WSHShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\QlikViewPDF\OutputFile", pdfOutputFile, "REG_SZ"

WSHShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\QlikViewPDF\BypassSaveAs", "1", "REG_SZ"

Set WSHShell = nothing

End function
