1.9.8.RC2G PDF Button does not work correctly

[grtrustme]

I m using Ubuntu OS, Apache Web Server with mod_rewrite. I am also using SEO friendly urls without index.php in my joomla 1.7.

I tried to press the pdf button on a product page and i got a 500 error
View not found [name, type, prefix]: productdetails, pdf, virtuemartView
( the link that was called was: http://localhost/bestshop/test/Hand-Shovel?format=pdf )

It's a clean installation on a new joomla 1.7.

joomla 1.7 has no pdf support. But just tested, seems not to work with j1.5 either.

I have the pdf 500 error as well.  What is a way to fix this, or do I need to disable the pdf button?

Same issue here.  Any fix?

The alternative is your browser, the reason they removed it from j1.7. Since some years every browser supports to create a pdf out of a page.

That's good news, but is there a fix for the 500 server error?

We know that browsers have built in pdf support, but that still doesn't correct this error 
I've tried all major (updated) browsers.
I can easily hack the code to make the pdf link work, but I don't think that's the purpose of this thread.
