Hello Joanna,


Thanks for your patience.

This problem seems more specific to the fact that you are not specified the value of DISPLAY variable when working on Unix shell. May be your autosys job is trying to display some window/dialog and hence the value of DISPLAY variable is not properly set to your local system, you encountered this issue.

You may consider running the following command on Unix shell under Bash mode.

[root@mysystem]export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0

You may consider visit the following link for further information on similar topics.

I am not entirely certain that either you have tried above specified/followed commands/instructions, but just in case, I wanted to share this information. For further investigation, I have also logged this problem as PDFJAVA-33134 in our issue tracking system. We are really sorry for your inconvenience.

If you haven’t resolved the issue yet, here is the solution. In your java command add the following option -Djava.awt.headless=true
