Gareth -- another workaround, in case direct to pdf is not working, 

After making your report -- just hit the export button (not export as pdf)
Save the file
(The file will be in html - so it will read filename.html)
Double click on this file and it will open in your browser
You now can print this file from the browser ( if you want a paper copy) -
or print to Microsoft Print to Pdf and then you have the file in PDF.

Let me know if this one works. 

As you can see -- fortunately or unfortunately -- there are many ways to
skin the cat on this one -- ultimately there will be a way to get what you
want. 

BTW -- when I export the native file to PDF - mine opens with no problem.
So I don't think this is a GNU-CASH issue -- I actually think it could be an
Adobe issue since I do not use Adobe for pdfs (not even the reader).

Hi Ken,

I did try what you suggested, but unfortunately for me it did not work.
It produced an error saying,........... This file is already open or in use
by another application.

I did however open the saved Exported Pdf file in Premier Elements Pro, but
it did create quite a few errors with the headings, which took over an hour
to resolve. 

Gareth

Gareth -- I am on GC 4.5 with Windows 10.  Instead of export to pdf try
print and chose Microsoft print to pdf.  Save with the name you want and the
resulting file opens fine in pdf.  At least it does for me.  Give it a try
and let of us know if this is a good work around for you.

Hi,

 

If I create a Transaction Report and export it to Pdf.

When I try and open it in Adobe Acrobat DC Reader, it will not do it and
gives an error code of 135.

 

Does anyone have an idea of what the problem is, as it hasn't happened
before?

 

GC 4.5 Windows 10
