and save it in temporary file.
when user view the archived report, he could save it in another path
(for example: myDocuments)... but the new saved file is empty except
from a logo
this is the code to save the pdf ... can anybody help my to find the
problem? thanx in advance

public void export(){
Properties m_ctx=Env.getCtx();
JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
chooser.setDialogType(JFileChooser.SAVE_DIALOG);
       chooser.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_ONLY);
       chooser.setDialogTitle(Msg.getMsg(Env.getCtx(), "Export"));
       chooser.addChoosableFileFilter(new
ExtensionFileFilter("pdf" ,Msg.getMsg(m_ctx, "FilePDF")));

       if(chooser.showSaveDialog(this)!= JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
        return;

       File file =
ExtensionFileFilter.getFile(chooser.getSelectedFile(),
chooser.getFileFilter());
       Viewer viewer = new Viewer();
       try{
        PDFGenerator.getPDFAsStream(new
FileOutputStream(file),layoutEngine.getPageable(false));
        file.createNewFile();

The documentation for createNewFile says: "creates a new, empty file".
Is that "empty" the source of your problem? After you create it you
seem to exit your method without having put anything into the file.
