With IT3250048 I managed to get the same error. It is written at the end of the logs/sdflog.log file. The error message is: Character reference "�" is an invalid XML character. So it looks like somewhere in your site IT3250048 data there is a character that is illegal for XML/HTML (which is used as the intermeidate format by the PDF generator). I copy-pasted the values of "Other site characteristics" and "Quality and Importance" to a simple text-editor and back, and then it worked. So the problematic character must be somewhere in those two fields. Please note that when copy-pasting from Microsoft Word and other rich-text editors, there is a chance that some characters might come along that are not considered valid in XML/PDF. In this case "�" refers to character known as NULL. The tool should be more tolerant and fix this for user, but unfortunately we don't have the source code of the tool and our support contract with EEA is coming to end in a few weeks. So, to have a more permanent fix to the problem, please contact EEA (also in CC here). best regards, Jaanus Heinlaid Senior Software Developer TripleDev OÜ Pärnu mnt 130-45, 11317 Tallinn, ESTONIA

I have this problem only for the sites IT5180018 and IT3250048: I select the site and then I press edit but, when I press view, nothing happens when I press generate PDF, a PDF is actually printed but it is empty (0 kb dimension) and it is impossible to open it. This happens with every version of the so ware. I can generate PDF of all the rest of the sites so the cause cannot be my computer environment.

I was able to open PDF of site IT5180018, and I was also able to open its View page and export to XML (although the latter reported there was some data validation error). So I'm not sure what you mean by "we happened to be denied to open the SDF pdf"? Did you not see the PDF button. In ver2.2 of the SDF tool, you first have to select the site, press Edit and then on the opening form you will see "Generate PDF" button. It worked for me. Could it be an issue somehow related to your particular computer environment? best regards, Jaanus Jaanus Heinlaid Senior Software Developer TripleDev OÜ Pärnu mnt 130-45, 11317 Tallinn, ESTONIA GSM +372 5112503
