Export PDF on Linux

Hello, whenever I try to export a PDF I immediately get the error Dundas.BI.Export.ExportException: The export process failed (127): from Extensions.StandardExportProviders

Image has the same issue, but Excel and CSV work fine. Is there another dependency needed on Linux to export PDFs?

Thank you

Hi @richard.kubina ,

The Linux install has quite a few moving parts and it’s possible that one of these isn’t setup correctly. Specifically the ‘X Virtual Frame Buffer Service’ which is used to help with exports that involve images. It seems that you have your data exporting exports working but the image ones are failing so this fits right in line with not having this service installed.

I did a full video on the subject of installing Dundas BI on Linux and it covers this service.

Here also are the documentations on the subject.
