pdf generation w/ parameters [message #158906] Fri, 05 May 2006 19:12 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hi,

I am using BIRT 2.0.0 and experiencing the following issue:

I have made what I believe are the necessary modifications for the PDF
emitter and I am able to get a simple report to render in Acrobat as PDF.

The problem is that when I try to render a report that depends on
parameters (being passed in on the URL) I get a blank page in the
Acrobat viewer. Furthermore if I take the working simple example from
above and add a parameter to the URL I get a blank page.

Just to be clear:

http://localhost/run?__report=table.rptdesign&__format=p df
-this successfully generates the PDF

http://localhost/run?__report=table.rptdesign&__format=p df&__locale=en_US
-this opens acrobat with a blank page, no errors in the logs


Any suggestions?

thanks,
Brian

Brian,

Can you try a couple of things?
1 - try adding a parameter and displaying it in a data element.
ie add the data element and set its value to params["myparameter"].
Do this without changing the locale.

2 - Can you try 2.0.1?

Thanks

Jason

Hi Jason,

Thanks for your suggestions. I am happy to report that this was not a
BIRT issue at all, our application does some post processing on requests
that was causing this issue.

Sorry for the unnecessary traffic on the board.
