Hello,

I have Master Page Layout that I want to view in Adober Reader 9 and it doesn't work. When I choose the Run button in Developer Studio it opens a webpage and quickly says "Done" but Adobe doesn't open to view the PDF document. Can anyone give ideas as to why it isn't working?

Thanks.

no idea

pls post your code, it might be some minor error

The code is pasted below. The PDF only has an image and a line. It is very basic. Thanks for the help.

 SET HTMLARCHIVE=ON

Hi dburton,

I checked with our technicals and was suggested that you may want to contact Customer Support Services and open a case for debugging. You may either call at 1-800-736-6130, or access online at InfoResponse.

Cheers,

Interesting, When I run here is crashes my agents.

Shouldn't you have an actual page to go with your page master ?

I am working on an actual page, however, I should be able to view the Page Master by itself. The reason why I would like to is to make sure that I am happy with the way things are aligned on the page before I generate a report. Also, I cannot view any report in PDF at all. This I have a case open with Technical Support for and so far there is no conclusion as to the reason for it.

Thanks.
