I am running Splunk 5.0.5 on a Windows 2008 R 2 server. When trying to generate a PDF from a view I get the following error:
'NoneType' object has no attribute 'strip'
In the python.log file I get the following error:
2013-11-04 14:29:40,457 CET INFO pdfgen_endpoint:310 - pdf time-of-report=1383571780.46

If I remove the row with html text the PDF is generated, even if I just put in
<row>
<html>
</html>
</row>
the report does not work anymore. According to the documentation I should be able to add html to simple XML and still be able to generate a pdf. Can anyone help me with tis?
