Hello and thanks forward,
I`m a newbie with Birt and I have a problem with the creation of a PDF-Report.
To create a HTML is no problem, but when i try to create a PDF i get following exception:

org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.EngineException: Error happened while running the report.

Could anyone help me, please?

Does this fail with all reports or just the one? Try the attached one.
BTW you may want to set the locale.
task.setLocale(new Locale("en", "US"));
