The PDF export of a Table with a PictureBox and enabled accessibility generates a corrupted document

We have reports that contain a table of images. This seems to work great in the designer and when generated to a PDF without accessibility turned on. However, with accessibility turned on and rendering to a PDF, it throws an exception:

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Hello Nathan,

The workaround I may suggest is to place the PictureBox item in a Panel rather than directly in the Table cell.

The approach let me generate a PDF with enabled accessibility with the same report that threw the exception when the PictureBox was not in a Panel.
