Attempting to save a PDF report throws an error.

Symptoms:

When attempting to create a PDF report on a tablet running Windows 8.1 an error message appears and no report is created.

Cause:

Windows 8.1 is missing some critical files the PDF creator relies on. 

Solution:

Install the VC++ 2015 Redistributable files.  These are available at www.microsoft.com. Use a search engine to find them. Choose the version that matches your tablet (32 or 64bit).  Install on the tablet. The PDF creation process should then work.
