Strange behaviour in creating PDF output [message #1292104]

I run and render a report and write it to a ByteArrayOutputStream using BirtRunAndRenderActionHandler.

After that i write the ByteArrayOutputStream to a FileOutputStream using toByteArray().

This should create a PDF with the rendered report.

I i run this on windows i get a PDF which is correct and can be shown by AcrobatReader.
When i run the same software on Linux the resultfile is about one third of the size of the one on windows and AcrobatReader states that the PDF is corrupt.

Can someone give a direction how to solve this please ?

I use the IRunAndRenderTask as well and never had any issues on Linux. I don't use a FileOutputStream though. You can give the file name and location to the task with help of PDFRenderOptions.

PDFRenderOption options = new PDFRenderOption();			
options.setOutputFormat(IRenderOption.OUTPUT_FORMAT_PDF);
options.setOutputFileName(filePathAndName);

Hope that works for you as well.

If it doesn't I would recommend posting your code snippet as well as your BIRT and OS version. That always helps the people here to figure out what's wrong.

Best regards
Bianca
