I'm developing a visualforce page that is supposed to be rendered as PDF. This page is to be accessed from a public URL. The page has two components. Although I'm facing some problems. if I fill in the parameter renderAs = pdf the page is rendered as a blank page but only in the public url. Example: orgInstance/apex/myPage -> ok publicSite/myPage -> blank page

Any suggestion?

sounds like a permissions issue...happens to us all the time.

You have to make sure the public site "profile" permissions are allowed to access the page, the class, and all the objects it needs.

In the site settings click on the "Public Access Settings"

  • That's what I though too, but, if I remove the tag renderAs='pdf' it works just fine...

  • Ok, I've found the problem. That was related with an issue related to a StaticResource. Solved.
