Hi,

Good day.
I will be a lookout on this since I badly needed this feature on our project.
Thanks in advance.

Still valid in the PDF stack in 2021 (Proton) on https://el.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ειδικό:DownloadAsPdf&page=Χρήστης%3AGeraki%2Fπρόχειρο&action=show-download-screen

Although this is a valid bug, it's not caused by Proton

The reason is that the Graph extension does not support Graphoid anymore, which means there isn't a tool to generate raster images for the graphs.

For security reasons Proton does not support rendering PDF with JavaScript enabled therefore it can't create a raster image from dynamic graphs.

IMO this became a feature request that's out of the scope of the current maintenance status.
