Hi Sneha,

To find the exact issue. try to enable debug mode first and then remove renderas="PDF" attribute from page. You should see actual issue then.

Let me know if that works.

Thanks,
Himanshu

Approval Page: 
<apex:commandButton value="Udskriv kvittering" rendered="{!receiptPage}" onclick="return redirectPrint();"/>

this is the button on click of which the receipt page gets downloaded 

function redirectPrint()
        { 
           var docURL = '/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file={!AttachmentID}';
               
            var receipt = window.open(docURL,'_Self','menubar=yes,width=680,height=692,toolbar=yes,scrollbars=yes');
            receipt.focus();
            return false;
        }

Controller Class: 
Boolean receiptSaved = false;
    public Id AttachmentID {get;set;} 
     
     public void saveReceipt()
    {      
                //Pagereference pr = Page.DealerProductReceipt;
                Pagereference pr = Page.DemoPdfPage;
             //   pr.getParameters().put('id',parentId);
      //  Attachment attach = new Attachment();
                Blob b;
                if(!(testMode)){
                    //b = pr.getcontent(); 
                    b = pr.getContentAsPDF();
                   
                    system.debug('Blob Data in string format @@@@@@@@@@@@ '+b.tostring());
                    system.debug('string in the blob !!!!!!!  '+b);
                } 
                else{
                     b = Blob.valueof('Dummy Content in email body for Apex Test Run');            
                   
                }   
               
                Document receipt = new Document();
                receipt.folderId = [select id from folder where Name='Customer Form Documents'].id;
                receipt.Name = cCustInstAdd.customerNumber + '.pdf'; 
                receipt.body = b;
        		receipt.ContentType = 'application/pdf';
        		receipt.IsPublic = true;
                
                System.debug('receipt->'+receipt.body);
        
                insert receipt; 
              system.debug('receipt id--------'+receipt.id);
        
                AttachmentID = receipt.id;
         system.debug('receipt id--------'+AttachmentID);
                receiptSaved = true;
    }
    
    public pagereference printReceipt()
    {
        if(!receiptSaved)
       		saveReceipt();
        
        return Page.DealerProductReceipt;
    }

receipt page: 
<apex:page Controller="DealerProductPageController3" sidebar="false" showHeader="false" applyBodyTag="false">
<head> 
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />
</head>

.........
.................
......................
................
</apex:page>
the receipt page is the page that needed to be converted into pdf but renderAs gives ab encoding error after the button is clicked on the approval page.'

thanks in advance
