问题
I have recently installed BIRT in a 64 bit windows 8 machine. When I view a report in HTML output or any other output the report is visible just fine. But when I chose to view it as PDF , a blank page opens with a small cross on top left corner and nothing else. (attaching screen shot)
I tried opening the same report on other machine (Windows 7) with BIRT "view as PDF" and it works fine.
I have checked opening other pdf files on my machine, they open perfectly OK. Is there any other setting I need to do in other to make the pdf output of report visible or is it a bug with windows 8 64 bit version.
Version Details
BIRT : Version: Helios Service Release 2 Build id: 20110218-091
Adobe
Version 11.0.3
Thanks for your help...

This looks like a moderately complex report. Try to narrow the possiblities by creating a very simple report with only a lable "test" and see if it opens in PDF on your 64 bit windows 8 machine. If it does then you know, there is something in your report blocking the PDF, if it does not then you have pretty much proven it is a bug with windows 8 64 bit version.
If your simple report works, you will want to begin recreating your complex report one peice at a time, and testing it, with each new element. When it stops working you will know what breaks it.

I had this problem and the solution that worked for me was to: - click on Window->Preferences - click General->Web Browser in the navigation pane - select use external web browser and pick the external browser of choice - hit apply, ok

I had the same issue and was able to resolve it by installing the Adobe Reader. Previously I had only an alternative PDF reader (Foxit) installed. After I installed the original Adobe Reader, the "View Report As PDF" menu item worked as desired. Setting the Adobe Reader as the default PDF viewer was NOT required.
Maybe re-installing the Adobe Reader in the latest version and with default settings does the trick for you?
