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.

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,

Kerry

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.
