You need to:

  1. go inside component and open the layout editor
  2. in bottom left corner tick the box „enable reporting“
  3. go outside the component - you now have an additional blue square input port and output port
  4. grab a „Report Template Creator“ Node and connect it to the new blue input port of your component. In that node you can also configure page size and orientation
  5. connect the blue output port of your component to the Report PDF Writer

With that set up your component should execute and you should also get a preview if you open the blue output port.

Thanks

What does the error of your component say? Can you share more information? Hard to debug without knowing more…

Thanks for that - it looks like before starting to think about outputting your report as PDF there are different issues you will have to solve first.

Without looking into the component to understand what is “going on under the hood” it will be difficult to fix this.
