Having an issue or the report viewer in ignition 8.1.2 , when I save the report as pdf and try to open the file in Adobe Acrobat it says it is corrupt and won’t open.

I’m having the same issue in 8.1.18. It works in the designer but not the client. It creates a PDF with a file size of 0k. Was this ever resolved? Save to HTML, XLSX, and PNG are working.

I have the same issue - I was able to save it by right clicking on the report, selecting print \> Microsoft Print to PDF.
