Export to PDF with OpenJDK 11

[Former Member]

I am trying to use SAP Crystal Reports, version for eclipse and upgrade my application to openjdk 11. I am getting the following error. I think this has something to do with the way fonts are not bundled into the jdk any longer. I do not know if I'm correct though, has anyone had any luck with open jdk 11 and exporting to pdf?

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException

Hi Joseph,

There was another post with a very similar issue to yours here:

They fixed it by copying the windows fonts into the font folder of their java JVM. (jvm/jre/lib/fonts)
