I dont understand, the sample is in the code.
I have a web page with a webviewer and under it there is a custom button with cod to export the report.
The pdf created is 0 byte.
This is the code :
Dim MyPDF As New GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Export.Pdf.Section.PdfExport
Try
MyPDF.Export(WebViewer1.Report.Document, _path_and_name)
Catch _Error As Exception
LabMsg.Text = _Error.Message
End TryWhich other information can i give you ?

Hi,
Make sure to run the Section Report before exporting it. Please refer to the attached code for reference:
Protected Sub btnExport_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
Dim PdfExport1 As New GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Export.Pdf.Section.PdfExport()
Dim pdfFileName As String = "PDFExpt.pdf"
Dim pdfFilePath As String = Server.MapPath("~/pdf/" & pdfFileName)
Dim sectionReport As New SectionReport()
sectionReport.LoadLayout(Server.MapPath(arvWebMain.ReportName))
sectionReport.Run()
PdfExport1.Export(sectionReport.Document, pdfFilePath)
End Sub
We hope this helps!
