I can confirm that all the "Reports > Graphical reports" output options definitely do work with output to pdf [or other formats] in 5.1.4, at least in the WinAIO version. I suspect there is a path issue here. I don't think it will work [for any output file format] unless the folder you specify to write the pdf into already exists. [It works fine if a pdf FILE of the specified name does not yet exist within the specified folder, or if one does, it asks whether you want to overwrite it.] But the fact you are specifying a folder path "/MyReports/" but the error message gives a location "/tmp/tmpk3u3eaxo/" suggests there is no real folder yet in existence on the path you specified? Else maybe your path specification is incomplete? I cannot remember much Linux syntax, but I suspect you may be omitting prefix text from your specified path [e.g. "~"], or alternatively that you should NOT be including the commencing slash? If you click on the file explorer button at the right end of the [output] filename you should be able to navigate to the folder you want to use, rather than editing the path within the filename field. On Windows at least, failure to correctly specify the folder generates an error message to that effect before it even attempts to create the file.
