Code Fix: Generating a PDF with a K2 Workflow renders the PDF incorrectly
KB003072
PRODUCT
Issue Description
When generating a PDF with a K2 Workflow after an IISReset the PDF renders incorrectly. Only a small margin on the left-hand side of the A4 page is being generated, the rest of the page towards the right is blank. This results in the PDF rendering as if squished into a small column or bar on the left-hand side of the page.

- Ensure you have K2 Five (5.1) installed.
- Download and install the K2 Five (5.1) November 2018 Cumulative Update from K2 Partner and Customer Portal.
