Hello:
One of the print options for my client billing app is to PDF
file. I wrote the code for use with Adobe's Adobe PDF printer
driver. It works mostly. I am now looking at switching to
Bullzip. It works mostly.
I would like to get rid of the "mostly".
The problem I have is with printer orientation. I can set the
orientation at the beginning of the print job to either portrait or
landscape. That works just fine. What I can not do is change the
orientation midjob. This problem exists with both Adobe PDF and
Bullzip. Any later change to the orientation during the print job is ignored.
To set the orientation, I first close printer, use a .frx with
the appropriate orientation, and then do a =sys(1037,3).
When printing to a physical printer, there is no problem: the
orientation changes.
Please note that I generate my output with set printer on and
?. Switching to .frt/.frx is not a viable option.
The reason that I want this is because some PDFs should contain
more than one report. (Some invoices should also have a transaction
report following them.) Fortunately, I currently do not have a need
to have these combined print job PDFs contain both portrait and
landscape pages, but it would be nice to have in case it is ever
needed. And it does not seem it should be so difficult.
What am I doing wrong, or is it impossible?
Sincerely,
Gene Wirchenko
