- Note that the option sendToLocalFileSystem should be set to true. To generate an Image from reports (zip files) stored in the database, you can configure a similar option in the ReportExport configuration.
- in the global.properties the option REPORT_HTML2PDF_PROGRAM should be defined.
For example to REPORT_HTML2PDF_PROGRAM=%REGION_HOME%/Modules/Reports/bin/wkhtmltopdf.exe
Currently the wkhtmltopdf program is used, which is available for windows and various linux distributions
N.B.Notes:
- The wkhtmltopdf application is known to crash if spaces are used in the directory names of the fews client.

- If you want to reference images in the HTML which you export when you make the reports you must include the argument --enable-local-file-access
- With the generatePdfCommandLineOptions element in the schema it is posible to add specific functionality. More info can be found in the wkhtmltopdf.txt file.
