Have you tried enabled the obsolete pdf functionality

If you had searched the forum as the FAQ/Forum rules indicate, you would have found the answer in this yesterday’s post .

The internal PDF generator is an Obsolete Feature, once it’s gone, the emailing of reports feature will be gone. That’s why I am placing this in ideas.

Yes @Ealfardan and question is for you and other moderators when are you gong to challenge @Lubos to not keep removing features without replacing them with something better.

But web-browsers do not allow website to convert HTML to PDF using javascript. This means removing internal PD…

[image] lubos: This means removing internal PDF generator kind of breaks emailing feature in Manager. RE 1: Indeed and that is one important problem. No working alternative. Also a PDF attachment is safer and less prone to be dumped into a spam-folder or worse refused when trying to capture a…
