You need to use the ImageSaver action block to save the PDF document content to disk.

hi ,

i tried it also. i give PDF document output to ImageSaver EncodedImage. but even it doesnt show anything. it has size as 0 bytes. but my query results display result in text file.

Try just adding a PDF Text or a PDF Horizontal Line action block that is configured to your PDF Document and do a Tracer action to trace out the document Output. If the encoded string is visible in the execution dialog then the saver should work just fine (assuming you have provided a valid path of course).

Have PDF's worked before on this server? Did you make sure to follow the directions for installing the iText jar file?

hi,

i placed iText and all those things are correct. but it doesnt show output. my transaction is like this:

1) In root sequence i placed SQL query and outgoing is as SQL query results to SQL qurey results

2) next seq is PDF doc. i config it by giving title and other values. i didnt give any mapping in configuration of links.

3) next, i added two seq to PDF doc. one is PDF table. i pointed PDF Document_0 as PDF doc and SQLquery results as table data source and didnt give any mapping in links.

4) another seq with PDF doc is Image Saver. In links, i mapped as PDF document output to ImageSaver Encoded Image.

I executed this transaction. In image it doesnt show anything. but when i opened it with notepad it has properties and values of PDF document. but no image to show.

how to solve it?
