I have a nested main datawindow with several nested dw's inside. One of the nested dw's is a graph that is created via a blob object inĀ its detail band.
I create a pdf (native!) using saveas. When I open the pdf the graphs shows for a second and then disappears. Using Acrobat pro (edit tool active), you can click in the space where the graph should be and get a box outline which you can drag down and the graph is there. In the main dw, I have selected the nested graph dw and right clicked and select Bring to Front. I did the same thing with the blob object on the nested dataobject but neither setting fixed the issue. I have listed powerbuilder version info at the bottom of this post. I don't think this a coding issue because I can retrieve the graph dw in the dw painter and do saverows as pdf and the behavior is the same - when you open the graphs shows but then disappears. I have attachedĀ this pdf.Ā Ā Another FYI - this same datawindow worked fine in PB10.

Here are the blob properties:

PB version:

Set <your dw control>.Object.DataWindow.Export.PDF.Method = distill! just before performing saveas.
This is the way to choose the method to use to save as pdf.
