I'm using Yellowfin 9.6 and want to use ability to export both Dashboards and Present to PDF. In https://community.yellowfinbi.com/knowledge-base/article/yellowfin-9-3-and-exporting-dashboardspresent-to-pdf on of the requirements is JavaFX. Found a guide to add JavaFX to system https://community.yellowfinbi.com/topic/how-do-i-add-javafx-to-my-system but not in docker image. How can I add it?

Hey Oveb,

Thanks for the detailed info!

Ok so a few things here;

The Official YF Docker image already comes bundled with a Java version that supports JavaFX (the Azul Java version).
For exporting dashboards to PDF, there was a potential bug that users could run into when exporting to PDF that has been patched in the YF 9.7 Docker image.
If you are using a custom image, you will need to use external articles that best match your scenario. We can provide some guidance here, just need to know what Java distribution you are using.

Please let me know how it all goes!

Thanks,

David

Hi David,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes I'm using a custom image and OpenJDK 11.0.2. I'm using Maven to get the artifacts org.openjfx. And copying to the image.

Oveb
