ConQuest 1.18 is unable to export PDF files on Windows

Solution

ConQuest 1.18 RC1 (released November 2015) is unable to export search details in PDF format on Windows. Doing so will produce a python traceback ending with text similar to:


"D:\teamcity\builds\csds_nov2015\static\csds\conquest\pyinstaller_temp\work\csds\out00-PYZ.pyz\reportlab.pdfbase.pdfmetrics",
line 40, in <module>
None
<type 'exceptions.AttributeError'>: 'module' object has no attribute
'stringWidth'

This issue is now resolved in the latest CSD update - please install the latest CSD software update so that ConQuest reports itself as version 1.18 RC2.

Linux and Mac OS X platforms should remain unaffected.
