Title: Drill-through issue in PDF output
Post by: lots_of_questions on 23 Jan 2018 12:41:16 PM
Hi all,

I am using IBM Cognos Analytics 11.0.7.   

Report 1 is a report that has been converted from V10.  When I run Report 1 as HTML the drill through works perfect. (ie. it opens in an new window and Report 1 stays open in the background)  When I run Report 1 as PDF... not so much.  The report opens fine and the drill through works.  But the report in the background closes and returns to the welcome page.

I tried to replicate this with a test report (Report 2) made in V11. When I run Report 2 as HTML the drill through works perfect. (ie. it opens in an new window and Report 2 stays open in the background)  When I run Report 2 as PDF the drill through works but it will not open in a new window.  I double and triple checked... the Open in new window is checked.

Has anyone else had issues with drill-through functionality inside a PDF output?

Turns out that turning off the "Run with full interactivity" will allow the V11 drill-through report to open in a new window.  But it still closes the PDF in the background.  :o
