I have a pdf viewer displaying my pdf Reports, I have some very simple 1 page reports with one table and one graph which is displayed perfectly, However I have another 1 page report with a histogram, 3 tables & 2 graphs which the pdf viewer will not display correctly, ie only displays the background of the histogram and the heading of the report. The reports themselves are fine since if the report is opened with a normal pdf viewer it is perfect. ---

It seems as though its the 3-D effect on the Histogram that is causing the problem, I’ve made the histogram normal 2-D and I can now view the entire report with the viewer! ---

Thanks for the bug report, I’ll see what we can do about that. Glad you found a workaround.
