Sorry nobody saw this for so long. Reporting is now part of the X-Pack bundle and most people are only looking at the X-Pack forum.

I think your problem of not getting the visualization title in the PDF report is caused by missing fonts on the Kibana server.

On a headless Ubuntu server we used to install some fonts like this;  
`apt-get -qq install -y libfontconfig libfreetype6`

And on CentOS/Redhat like this;  
`yum install -y fontconfig freetype`

I think these are included with the X-Pack install now, but you may need some steps like this for your chinese fonts?

Regards,  
Lee
