3419182 - Comments Not Rendered when Exporting a Story to PDF in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)

Symptom

  • Comments are not successfully rendered in a PDF Export of a story.

Environment

  • SAP Analytics Cloud 2023.21.13

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create a Story with a Comment Widget.
  2. Add comments to the widget.
  3. Export the Story as a PDF.
  4. Notice some comments are blank/not being rendered in the generated PDF document.

Cause

  • The cause of the problem was a style property (background-color set to white) being applied to the text spans in the Comment Widget.
  • This style property was making the white text on a white background invisible in the exported text.
  • The style property is not required and can only be added if the text is copied from elsewhere.

Resolution

  • The issue of missing text in PDFs exported from the Comment Widget is planned to be resolved in 2024.02.
