PDF Creation Problem

edited January 2005 in Server
My report server is now running as a Service.
Not with RBService but with a normal Delphi Service App.
This is almost a copy of the example Nard mailed me.
The reporting works fine, but when the user clicks on the printer icon the
webtier display an internal application error.
When looking in the cache i can see the creation of a pdf file but there is
no page into it.

The strange thing is that on my development machine the complete thing is
working, on my deployment server not ??

Any idea what that could be

    Are you using RB 9.01 and the new RB PDFDevice to generate the PDF?

    There was a bug in RB 9, that sometimes resulted in an empty PDF file.

    Okay, I see from your next post that you are using RB's PDF device.

    Make sure you are using RB 9.01, it contain a PDF fix.

    There is an addition patch available for RB 9.01 that fixes an issue related
    to generated international symbols, we had several german customers report
    it. You send an email to support@digital-metaphors.com to request the patch.
