Creating PDF with XML and APEX_UTIL.DOWNLOAD_PRINT_DOCUMENT

Question

I am trying to generate a PDF report with an existing BLOB stored in a table being applied to a report template. Here is my procedure.
declare
doc blob;
begin
select img into doc from table where id = :P1_SEL_ID;
APEX_UTIL.DOWNLOAD_PRINT_DOCUMENT (
p_file_name => 'Document',
p_content_disposition => 'attachment',
p_report_data => doc,
p_report_layout => 'TEMPLATE1',
p_report_layout_type => 'rtf',
p_document_format => 'pdf'
end;
When I run the procedure adobe acrobat opens but gives me an error message saying "The file cannot be opened because it has no pages".
I am storing the blob through APEX_UTIL.GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT and a report query with the document format 'XML' here.
declare
idoc blob;
begin
doc := APEX_UTIL.GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT (
p_application_id => 103,
p_report_query_name => 'SAVE_XML',
p_document_format => 'xml');
update table set
img = doc
where id = :P1_SEL_ID;
end;
I am pretty sure that the stored files have data in them as I tried downloading and opening them after stored. Any ideas as to why this is? Is it the way I am storing/calling the blob file?

Nope sorry. I have no idea really of what could be the problem. I cannot even find a valid example of how to use that process in that way. I posted here as a last resort. As sort of a patch I just read the xml file and inserted the data into a temp table then called a report query on the temp table.
