(kali) Pdf report is empty while other format (cvs, xml) are ok

There are a few options for a solution:

  1. According to / if i understand the last part of the comment Error in pre-release-4 with utf8x and hyperref · Issue #833 · latex3/latex2e · GitHub correctly this seems to be an issue in the utf8x part of the inputenc package. Identifying the issue / bug tracker of that package and creating a sane bug report (with a reference to the previous linked one) could help in getting a fixed version of that LaTeX package into Kali

  2. Monitor 0007957: GVM Report exported in PDF format results to 0 byte document - Kali Linux Bug Tracker to see if the affected LaTeX package is somehow directly patched in Kali

  3. Use the workaround to remove the buggy LaTeX package mentioned in PDF, XML reports are empty on Kali Linux - #4 by Eero

  4. As a last resort (no guarantee for success):

Note: Options 3. and 4. might not work as expected for all cases where the inputenc package is still required. This would need to be tested by some one more thoroughly.
