Corrupted fonts when batch job writes report to PDF file

Posted on by vv1984 1,085

Hi,

i've got a batch job which runs 4 different reports for a set of customers. (4 reports for each customer, a new directory for each customer)

At the end of execution some of the PDF file have all the fonts corrupted. The thing is completely random. The set of corrupted-pdfs always changes.

If i open directory "Customer1" for instance and i find that all 4 reports have corrupted fonts, I try to execute the batch only for that Customer1, and the reports then are written properly without corrupted fonts.

I've also tried both "embedded" and "not-embedded fonts", the thing doesn't seems to make difference.


Any work around?

Thank you in advance

regards

    RE: Corrupted fonts when batch job writes report to PDF file

    The corruption results in unreadable fonts (like Windings for instance, special chars.. )

    The issue appears also when I render in HTML format. In this case the files have no content and are 1KB size.

    Even in this case the problem is completely random. I print 4 report for each Cust of my query, every execution of the batch return different messed up files.. And if i print the single files manually they dont give me this problem.

    Maybe there is some memory to free. I've also tried setting a sleep timeout of 5 seconds between each report, but it didnt work out.

    Is there something else you would try to fix it?

    Thank you in advance

    Thank you for your reply, but my problem is slightly different from the ones you linked..

    I don't get any error messages. I just get randomly screwed up files...
