Hi Donald,

How are you opening the PDF? Try opening the PDF with Adobe reader.

Has this issue been answered or resolved?

Hi Dimitris,

Can you please provide a little bit more information on your case? What is the control declaration?

Hi Yavor,
Exporting to word works just fine. Its the export to PDF that returns an empty file with only the title populated.
Here is my control implementation:

Hello Dimitris,

I reviewed the code and it looks correct. However, if the issue persists at your end, you can open a formal support ticket, and send me a small working project, demonstrating the issue. I will debug it locally, and get back to you with my findings.

Kind regards,

Is this problem solved? I have also encountered this problem.

[Yavor]

Hello Von Aerich,

No further details were provided on the problem in a support ticket. If the issue persists at your end, you can open a formal support ticket, and furnish the relevant details, which would allow us to look into the problem in greater details.

Dear Yavor and Von Aerich,
I worked this problem out and I created a simple but nice working example that demonstrates how to export a grid to a pdf file.
 
However, I am not sure how can I upload it as I can't see the attach file icon.
Maybe I have to enter it in the library code(?).

Can someone advice how do I upload an example project in this forum thread?
DK

Hello Dimitris,

You can add your project to a regular support ticket.

I attached some screenshots illustrating the needed steps.

Hi Daniel,
Thank you for your reply.

I didn't specify clearly that I was wondering how can I attach my sample project in this actual forum thread as it will be the most relevant.

I guess we are only allowed to upload samples in the formal support tickets section and then if needed we could link this forum with the support ticket...

Anyway its not a big deal... I only thought to quickly add some files for the viewers of this thread. I will upload it the proper way...

Dimitris

[Von Aerich]

Hi Dimitris,
Thanks for helping out. Will be waiting for your sample project.

Regards,
Von
