Hi Julio, Try the following. In my case, I pass this method a Folder Name and a Document name. This is because I deal with multi-language documents kept in separate folders. The user sees a name of the document without the “.pdf”.
You could just remove those lines and populate $tFileName with the full system path to the document you want to print. Hope this helps, Mitch __________________ C_TEXT($1;$2;$tFolderPath;$tDocumentName;$tPathNameX;$tFileName) C_TEXT($cmd_t;$in_t;$out_t;$error_t) $tFolderPath:=$1 $tDocumentName:=$2 $tFileName:=$tFolderPath+$tDocumentName+".pdf" $cmd_t:="lp -d \"printerName\" \"documentPath\"" $tPathNameX:=Convert path system to POSIX($tFileName) $cmd_t:=Replace string($cmd_t;"printerName";Get current printer) $cmd_t:=Replace string($cmd_t;"documentPath";$tPathNameX) LAUNCH EXTERNAL PROCESS($cmd_t;$in_t;$out_t;$error_t) _____________________________________ > > Message: 7 > Date: Tue, 19 Mar 2019 08:13:00 -0300 > From: Julio Carneiro <[email protected]> > To: 4D iNug Technical <[email protected]> > Subject: Printing a PDF document from 4D > Message-ID: <[email protected]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > > Has anyone here had the need to print a PDF document from 4D, and found a > solution? > > I am not talking about generating a PDF from 4D.
