Adobe Campaign Classic - Hybrid Configuration : pdf report export successful but cannot view pdf using wkhtmltopdf mode.

Adobe Campaign Classic - Hybrid Configuration 

Since upgrading to 9032 we have been unable to export pdf files from reports (administration/config/reports). We have upgraded to 9182 but the issues still exists.

The original phantomjs mode would not created a pdf so have installed wkhtmltopdf and changed the mode.   

serverConf.xml (htmlToPdf settings set to below)
<htmlToPdf command="" maxProcessusCount="5" mode=" wkhtmltopdf" timeout="120" verbose="true" waitTime="15"/>

Now a report can be exported as a pdf but when it is viewed the following error occurs.
TypeError: can't convert AttributeName to string

Hi,

Looks like buggy code in formbase.js. Try patching the line with hardcoded value to see what it does?

-  this.timezoneName = String(this.ctx.timezone.@current)

+  this.timezoneName = "Pacific/Auckland"

Thanks,

-Jon

Thanks for the suggestion Jon. I tried that change but there was no difference in behavior. I've completed a bit of debugging have traced the issue to the statement marked in red, this statement uses this.timezoneName which is set at the statement marked in green.

If I set this.timezoneName to "Pacific/Auckland" at the green statement there is no change in behavior

from => this.timezoneName = strTimezone

to => this.timezoneName = "Pacific/Auckland"

If I substitute "Pacific/Auckland" for this.timezoneName in the statement in red, again there is no change in behavior.

from => NL.session.setTimezone(this.timezoneName);

to => NL.session.setTimezone("Pacific/Auckland");

/** Set the working timezone

* @strTimezone
* special case : _server_, _login_, _inherit_
* _wdbc_ (only for report) : use timezone of the db server (WdbcTimeZone option)
