You can start by answering the questions asked in the other thread you started about this and provide details. Repeatedly asking the same question without any details will not help. ---

What I am trying to say is that you have not described the problem and steps you have gone through, nor provided any information about the configuration or logs. Without that I do not think anyone will be able to help you. With that said I will now leave you alone. Good luck! ---

If you do not have that part, can you check that you are using the deafult distribution (will depend on exactly what you installed) and have either a commercial or trial license? ---

[PDF reports are not available with the Basic license](https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions) so you will need to either get a commercial license r activate the trial license from the screen you posted a screenshot from. ---
