I have just installed the 2.1 report viewer under Tomcat 5.5.12 on Windows
XP SP2, following the instructions to the letter (including
itext-1.3.jar), and get the error shown below when I click on the "Print
report as PDF" button. Everything else work fine. Any ideas?

Many thanks,
Doug Lawry

I have now resolved this: the itext-1.3.jar download was corrupted.

I had some problems with PDF viewing when I first set up BIRT too. I'd like
some more "educated" input on this, but I found if I copied to the
itext-1.3.jar to this directory:

...\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.birt.report.viewer_2.1.0.N20 060628-1351\birt\webcontent\birt\ajax\lib

and

created a lib directory in the exploded war in the deployment and stuck the
jar in there too. Create here:
...\jboss4_BIRT\server\default\deploy\birt.war\WEB-INF\platf orm\plugins\com.lowagie.itext

And that made my PDF display within the designer and the site.
