Line Chart color show differently when export from Qlik Sense story telling to power point.  

Replication Steps:

1. Take a snapshot at the Line chart in the dashboard.

2. Go to Storytelling, drag and drop the snapshot saved.

3. Go to the Download story as PowerPoint.

4. Click the download link after it is ready. The PPT file is downloaded. User notice the downloaded contents is having different color appearance with it original chart color.

 

Environment

  • Qlik Sense all versions

Resolution

This is a "known limitation". The limitation is due to a third party library.

Cause 

The PDF and PPT exports for story elements with some transparency are flattened by the Aspose library.

This is the standard behavior when an alpha channel (transparency) is merged with a white background.

As a workaround I changed the colors to a custom color (instead of default pallete of colors) it worked pretty well.

The problem seems to be when you use palette colors, and it also happens with text and KPI elements.

To be more specific, I selected the color in the palette, cliced in the palette button and moved the bar to change the color to a slightly darker red.
