Cannot view PDF file generated from Grid Application

Applications Grid / Reports
#1

When I clicked the PDF button from the grid application, it seemed that the pdf file is generated and allow me to view or download the pdf file. However, when I click the view button, PDf file cannot be viewed or downloaded.

I have two sites to test this situation, one of the site is ok — it works perfectly.
However, there is problem in another site. In this “problem site”, pdf file can be generated from the other php program. I found that the pdf file generated in /_lib/temp/ is with size =0.

Can anyone tell me it there any setting is required for the “problem site”?

Thanks!

You need to install the java jre 1.6 to view the PDF file.

Hi, Max,

Thanks for your reply.

Do you mean I have to install jre 1.6 on that server?

I found that the pdf file generated in /_lib/tmp/ is with size=0. Is this implies that the server cannot create the correct pdf file?

Hello,

when generating an pdf-output depending on a grid-application I got the error, that the pdf-file could not be opened. The output file is corrupted and could not be repaired.

In the log of Apache I found the following:

[Tue Feb 14 21:28:32 2012] [error] [client 172.162.143.24] PHP Notice: Undefined variable: int_step in /var/www/scriptcase/app/Maengelbuch/grid_allgemeinemaengel/grid_allgemeinemaengel_gauge_ctrl.php on line 76, referer: http://appserver/scriptcase/app/Maengelbuch/grid_allgemeinemaengel/grid_allgemeinemaengel_iframe.php?scsess=bvm5cntkiv319g83e2mc8d0ro7&str_tmp=/scriptcase/tmp&str_prod=/scriptcase/prod&str_btn=Scriptcase5_Silver/Scriptcase5_Silver.css&str_lang=de&str_schema=ScriptCase5_Silver/ScriptCase5_Silver&script_case_init=489&script_case_session=bvm5cntkiv319g83e2mc8d0ro7&pbfile=%2Fvar%2Fwww%2Fscriptcase%2Ftmp%2Fsc_pb_bvm5cntkiv319g83e2mc8d0ro7.tmp&jspath=%2Fscriptcase%2Fprod%2Flib%2Fjs&sc_apbgcol=%2Fvar%2Fwww%2Fscriptcase%2Fapp%2FMaengelbuch%2F_lib%2Fcss%2F&sc_tp_pdf=cor&sc_parms_pdf=%20800%20A4%20-orientation%20LANDSCAPE&sc_graf_pdf=2
