When changing from ContentType="application/msword" to renderAs="pdf" document does not open.

Hello,

 

I have a page that I am trying to get to renderAs PDF, but the page never loads.  When I use application/msword the document can be opened and everything appears to work.  Does someone see anything in the code below that would bomb out a PDF?

 

<apex:page standardController="Job__c" extensions="AdvIncentEXT,Incent" showHeader="false" renderAs="pdf">

<style type="text/css">
table 
    {
    page-break-inside: avoid;
    }

Hi,                     

  If renderAs PDF does not work when page loads , the issue can be the source code of your page(VF code) , may be assignment of the table is not in a proper hierarchy.Please cross check the visual force code, I have worked a lot in renderAs pdf , this issue comes when there are issues in HTML code or any syntax error in the source code.

 

Did this answer your question? If not, let me know what didn't work, or if so, please mark it solved.
