Not possible to open PDF file generated by Report functionality

Former Member

Hello,

we are facing the problem that reports in PDF format deliverd in SharePoint by Duet Enterprise cannot be opened by Adobe Reader. The error we get is the following:

Adobe Reader could not open "filename.pdf" because it is either not a supported file or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

When trying to open it with Internet Explorer the following error message pops up:

File does not begin with '%PDF-'.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards

Sven

Hi Hi Sven,

Could you please tell me the type of report you were trying execute? Is it ERP or BW? And ALV or non-ALV?

We are supporting PDF report output type only for BW reports and for ERP non-AVL reports. For other types PDF format is not supported.

If you configure PDF for other report types then you will get report output in PDF file in SharePoint server, but you will face above error message while opening the file.

Regards,

Binson
