Generating PDF

zac

Hello,<br />
I'd like to generate a pdf via JavaScript. I'm using BIRT 2.5.2. I've added the following code in the report "beforeRender" event but the atttributeBean value is always null. What am I doing wrong?<br />
Also <br />
Thanks for your help!<br />
<br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>importPackage(Packages.org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api);

//attributeBean is a Birt Viewer supplied session variable
var request = reportContext.getHttpServletRequest();
if (request) {
var attributeBean = request.getAttribute('attributeBean');
if (attributeBean && !attributeBean.isDesigner()) {
var reportDoc = attributeBean.getReportDocumentName();
var re = reportContext.getReportRunnable().getReportEngine();
var doc = re.openReportDocument(reportDoc);
var options = new PDFRenderOption();
var outputfile = 'c:/report.pdf';
options.setOutputFileName(outputfile);
options.setOutputFormat('pdf');
ntask = re.createRenderTask(doc);
ntask.setRenderOption(options);
ntask.render();
doc.close();
ntask.close();
}
}</pre>

You might try running eclipsec.exe from cmd, assuming your in Windows. This will give you output to the console. If you get any errors here when running your report could you post them?
