How do I deploy chromium packages manually in Bold Reports

Chromium packages are necessary to achieve image and PDF export functionalities in reports,schedules from Bold Reports. Without these packages, the image and PDF export options in reports and schedules will no longer be available.

If you installed the build offline or skipped the packages during the build installation, you can manually install the chromium packages. Please find the download link and location details in the following table. Once the download is complete, extract the zip file and copy the chrome-win folder for Windows or the chrome-linux folder for Linux from the extracted location.
