PDF Generation failed

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hi All,

We are getting the below error while generating the PDF using publisher. Everything was working fine last week. Only the change we have done is initiated the installation of the PDF Pro( Nuance PDF Converter Professional 8), but stopped before providing serial number.

All the other jobs are working fine. The report which is failing is a simple report ( no complexities in that)

Please could you advise what steps needs to be done to rectify this.

Error details as per QlikView log:

05/06/2014 09:26:49 Error Failed to generate QVW File package.. Exception=QDSMain.Exceptions.NoDocumentPackageFoundException: No Document Package found.

Hi,

It seems that your PDF printer is corrupted.

Installed the attached PDF printer.

and make sure you select PDF Xchange 3.0 printer as a default printer

Hi Sijo

This shipped with QV instillation.

You can use this without any issue.

Hi,

ASHFAQ is correct about using it without any issues. You can also try to the timeout.

To increase the PDF Printer timeout, do the following

Locate the file settings.ini found in

Windows 2008 - C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\QlikTech\QlikViewBatch
Windows 2003 - C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Application Data\QlikTech\QlikViewBatch

Add the setting PDFPrintTimeoutInSeconds in the [Settings 7] section

[Settings 7]
PDFPrintTimeoutInSeconds= 120

Save settings.ini and restart QlikView Distribution Service

Bill
