Missing 'Export to PDF' option in IBM i2 Analyst's Notebook

Troubleshooting


Problem

The 'Export to PDF' option is missing from the File menu in Analyst's Notebook.

Cause

An unloaded/failed 'i2 PDF Export' plug-in, or corrupt installation of the plug-in, can cause the 'Export to PDF' option to be missing.

Resolving The Problem

Check that the 'i2 PDF Export' plug-in is not Unloaded or Failed:

1. Open Analyst's Notebook, and click on Tools > Options.
2. Click on the 'Plug-ins' menu.
3. Browse the list of plug-ins until you find the 'i2 PDF Export' plug-in.
4. Click on the plug-in, and ensure that the 'Load on Startup' and 'Protect against Plug-in Failure' boxes are both checked.
5. Click OK, and restart Analyst's Notebook.

If this fails to resolve the problem, or if the plug-in is missing from the list, attempt a Repair install of Analyst's Notebook to re-install the plug-in:
