DynamicPDF CoreSuite for .NET (v10) Forum

I have a PDF being generated with a DLEX Report layout via DynamicPDF Designer 11.02 and DynamicPDF 10.35. It is an invoice/order confirmation.  Recently I was tasked with making some layout changes after customer feedback. Upon making the changes, I encountered a few errors while debugging and now it generates a file and the file is simply a blank page.  The file size is slightly larger than the ones which were generated by a previous iteration which are visible.

I opened the resulting files in Notepad++ and the files look pretty similar, however the "good one" has a second line of %âãÏÓ and the bad one has a second line of %���� (the ? boxes here are just an empty box in Notepad++).  The bad file also has a bunch of the box characters in it in the middle of of the file but  the good file has other characters.

It's not obvious to me what the problem is.  I have tried moving some of the elements around if they were obviously "outside" the data row area.  Is there some way to validate the DLEX to be sure that it will draw properly?  The only other thing I can think of with this is that I need to walk back all my code and dlex changes and re-do them piece-by-piece.

Hi.

Please send the following information to support@dynamicpdf.com so we can look into this further.

1. Simple console application which uses static data to recreate the behavior.
2. DLEX file.
3. Output PDF.
4. Exact version and build number of the DynamicPDF DLL file used in your application. You can find this information by right clicking on the DLL file>>Details Tab>>Properties>>Product version. Take a screenshot of Details tab and send it over to us.

Thanks,
