    <p>UPDATE: I wrote to Wolfram support about this and will update the post if they can resolve the problem. Sorry for spamming SO with a technical support question, but here it remains in case anyone else is having the same issue.</p> <p>Is anyone else having this problem with Mathematica 8? I recently upgraded and noticed that when I export Graphics to a PDF file, although the file appears fine on my computer, it prints as a blank page. For example, try</p> <pre><code>Rectangle[{1,1}]// Graphics// Export["~/test.pdf",#]&amp; </code></pre> <p>which creates a PDF file containing a black square. This file opens fine, but if I send it to my department printer I just get a blank page. If I don't export the graphics but print the notebook from MM, no problem, the graphics print as expected. If I use MM 7 to do exactly the same thing, the PDF file prints as expected. Exporting to PNG in MM8 seems to work fine. And, using the context menu <code>Save Graphics As ...</code> or <code>File &gt; Save Selection As ...</code> to create a PDF containing just the graphic also works. However, these graphics eventually get included in a TeX document, and it would be far better if I could continue using the script I've got that doesn't require any button clicking to generate them.</p> <p>I'm running MM 8.0.0.0 on Mac OS 10.6.7. I have not been able to test this on another printer yet, but this printer has never given me problems before and prints other PDF documents fine. Any ideas why this is happening?</p> <p>Wolfram Research responds:</p> <blockquote> <p>... This issue has been reported by other users as well and our developers are currently looking into it. I have added your details to the report so you can be notified when this is resolved.</p> <p>In the meantime, the alternatives that you could try are:</p> <ol> <li>Try a different printer.</li> <li>Rasterize the image with the function 'Rasterize' before exporting. If the rasterized image loses some resolution, you could use the option 'ImageResolution' to edit this.</li> </ol> <p>Rasterize[image, ImageResolution -> xxx] </p> </blockquote>

    2. COI can reproduce the described behavior, and I think support@wolfram.com should definitely be made aware of the problem.

    3. COWhat is the ultimate use of the PDF? `NotebookPrint[...]` to send the graphic straight to the printer works for me.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
