[#3901] - Using the report scheduler and selecting both PDF and one of the non-paginated excel options always results in the PDF being blank. When testing repeated with only PDF output selected, results come out in PDF correctly.

Issue: Using version 5.6 and scheduling a report and selecting pdf and xls as output options. The output sent via the scheduler always results in blank results for the pdf while the xls has the correct data. When I run the scheduler again and this time only select pdf, the results sent via scheduler are correctly formatted and showing up in pdf.

In more testing found that if I scheduled a report with PDF and CSV selected, both outputs came out with all results printed. So far, the PDF is only blank if I also select an excel output that is NOT paginated (the paginated options when selected with PDF worked with correct results).

Output formats selected:

Formats PDF output was blank

PDF + xls yes

PDF + xls yes

PDF + xls paginated no

PDF + xlsx paginated no

PDF + all other non excel choices no

Perhaps a related problem is that instead of a blank page, I was getting a pdf without any page breaks.
My work around was to add <property name="ignorePagination" value="false"/> to the pdfOutput bean in applicationContext-report-scheduling.xml
