    Question View chart full screen in Excel 2013?

    Hello

    How do I view an Excel 2013 chart full screen ie. no toolbars or ribbons....just the chart at full/max size. I ultimately want to take the highest resolution screenshot of it and import it in to a graphics program.
    If I could achieve the same thing by printing it to a large page format PDF document (that can be imported in to the graphics program) at high resolution please let me know if that would essentially give me the same thing, even possibly allowing me to save it as an image at a higher resolution than that of my monitor.

    You can move the chart onto it's own tab, and then use a virtual printer such as PDF995 to print the chart to a PDF.
    Or you can SaveAs:PDF to get it out.
    Supposedly there is a way to directly save chart frames as images (such as JPEG or PDF), but I can't get that to work?

    PDF is a vector format, so it can scale pretty much however you want without any problems. It's a neater solution that messing about going through bitmapped formats.

    The "usual path" you see is Excel Chart => Save as PDF => Import PDF into Inkscape => Image Processing => Save as SVG / whatever
