Qlik Sense fails to export a sheet to PDF and returns a blank page. 

When exporting an object as an image, the error:

An error occurred during export. Please try again.

Export Sheet Blank PDF.png

 

Environment:

Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows 

 

Resolution:

 

  1. Verify if port 4899 is available. Unblock if it is not. 
  2. Check the System_Printing log to see if the following error message can be found:

    Failed to connect to an IPC Port: The system cannot find the file specified. Server stack trace: at System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.Ipc.IpcPort.Connect(String portName, 

    If so, please continue the following:
    1. Go to  C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\config\
    2. Make a backup of machine.config file first
    3. Open machine.config to see if the following line is included:
      <commonBehaviors><endpointBehaviors><Microsoft.VisualStudio.Diagnostics.ServiceModelSink.Behavior/></endpointBehaviors><serviceBehaviors><Microsoft.VisualStudio.Diagnostics.ServiceModelSink.Behavior/></serviceBehaviors></commonBehaviors></system.serviceModel>​
    4. Delete this line and save the file
    5. Restart QlikSense printing service
