Question

PDF Generation: PDFs look different locally from acceptance (form vertical and horizontal)

0

We have a weird problem. Our PDF's are perfect when running locally. But on acceptance, we get a completely different PDF. On the page we display a dataview with fields. The dataview has a Horizontal Form Orientation. But on the PDF's that are generated on acceptance, the fields are vertically oriented. We run on Mendix 10.7

Hi Meghan,

The issue is due to a difference in Chrome versions. When generating PDFs locally, using the latest version of Chrome, the results can differ from those produced by the PDF document service in the Mendix Public Cloud, which uses Chromium version 112.

We "resolved" this by installing Chrome version 112 locally to match the version used by the PDF document service in the Mendix Cloud, ensuring consistent output.
