To generate a PDF from an HTML report you have to configure the next steps:

1. set the option <generatePdf>true</generatePdf> in the declarations section of the report module

   <reports ......> <declarations> <chartFormat id="chartFormat1"> .... </chartFormat> <summaryFormat id="formatStatusMap"> .... </summaryFormat> <htmlTableFormat id="htmlTableFormat1NL" tableStyle="tableStyle1"> .... </htmlTableFormat> <dateFormat id="dateFormat1"> ... </dateFormat> <numberFormat id="numberFormat1"> ... </numberFormat> <generatePdf>true</generatePdf> <generatePdfCommandLineOptions>--orientation Landscape</generatePdfCommandLineOptions> <templateDir>$REPORT_TEMPLATE_DIR$</templateDir> <reportsRootDir>$REPORT_ROOT_DIR$</reportsRootDir> <reportsRootSubDir>nl/fluvial</reportsRootSubDir> <sendToLocalFileSystem>true</sendToLocalFileSystem> <timeZone .. <locale .... </declarations>

   
   

2. 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.
3. 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

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.
