hello all

i'm integrating birt with a web application to render some pdf reports.
so far everything seems to work fine but i'm wondering why i don't have to
instantiate a PDFEmitterConfig and put it on the EngineConfig, i have an
HTMLEmitterConfig on my EngineConfig but i'm not sure if it needs to be
there and why it shouldn't be a PDFEmitterConfig (i used some sample code)

and because i can't even find a PDFEmitterConfig type in any of the
libraries (including itext) i'd like to know if this is the right way to
go?

thanks

Eli,

Depends on the version you are using 2.2 no longer uses either, but the
reason older versions did not need it is because most apps did not need
to configure fonts, which is what the old PDFEmitterConfig did. In 2.2
you can use HTMLRenderOption or PDFRenderOption. HTMLRenderOption
should work for PDF is not configuring fonts.
