Empty pdf file (0 kb) when exporting report to PDF as a stand-alone application

[land-of-mordor]

 I'm coding an application using Netbeans as IDE to deal and interchange data between an Access database and a PBX software that uses firebird. Everything was fine until I reached the reports issue.

Working in Netbeans IDE everything worked really fine. Report is created and converted to the file type I wanted (rtf, odt, pdf...), but when a take the content of the "dist" folder (where the compiled application is stored by Netbeans with all the needed libraries) and execute the application, the report is created sucessfully but when it try to save it as PDF file, the only output is a empty (0 kb occupied) PDF file. I tried with other file types, like rtf and odt, and the application works great in both situations, runned using Netbeans IDE and as a stand-alone application.

Is there an specific library or reference that is loaded in Netbeans IDE but not imported when compiled as a stand-alone application? may be is another silly thing? any help or thoughts?

Thanks.

I don't know if this is related, are you using the latest Adobe Reader 10 (10.1.3)? With previous 10 version you could get empty pdf's but only with IE.

Thanks for replying!!

 

I think my problem it's not related with the issue you saying. I'm not using any web-related stuff, just a simply application to be run on a desktop. So I think the Adobe version I've installed in the PC won't be the cause. But this afternoon I'll update Adobe Reader and see what happend.

As I say before, updating Adobe Reader didn't fix the issue. This is quite strange...I don't know what to do...
