Hi,

First think click to my mind is do you have PDF Publisher Report distribution Licence with you?

Hi Kushal,

Are you running a Loop and Reduce, or "just" a report?

If "just" a report, does it work in QV Desktop to bring out the report?

Regards,

Erik

why don't you increase timeout for PDF printer

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

You have to set the value which might suits you. I mean you have to try several times until it fixes your issue.

You can even try with setting

Hi Kushal,

If Desktop hangs as well, you might want to reinstall the PDF printer (PDF X-change 3) to ensure nothing is wrong in general with PDF reports.

Erik

Log off and on, try printing a word doc etc to pdf if you can. Maybe your PDF creator is not working properly?

Try This,

Clear all from Distribute Tab means remove all except admin and remove all from email distribute
