Description of the issue

When running a script with the script step save as PDF AND if the layout contains any portals with no records. The pdf is corrupt. Error message appears and some data is missing from layout.

This was an issue with existing layout and script. I recreated a new layout from scratch without copy and paste and recreated a script from scratch. In both cases the issue continued. I have tried with another layout from a different table. The issue continued.

When at least one record added to every portal the PDF is saved and is not corrupted.

Create script with step to save as pdf
