Mike I am printing to a folder 'pdfdocs' located in sub folder of my application just as I always have, I do have acrobat 9, I am not sure if it is full or not. I must re-state that the file will print to printer and screen . The problem occurs when I check the 'print to file' option and give the document a filename. the filename that is printed is 1kb and if an attempt is made to open the file . an error message appears that states 'There was an error this file is already open or in use by another application'. There are no files open.
There was also some mix up about the version of rbase extreme used, In fact I did go to the update to make sure that I am using the current version and build. I believe it is R:BASE eXtreme 9.0 (64), U.S. Version, Build: 9.0.3.10910. Please correct me if I am mistaken. Also I was wondering what is the meaning of <G> I do appreciate all of the polite replies of those who have been sincere in helping me with this problem Mike epstein > -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike Byerley Sent: Saturday, September 18, 2010 2:35 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: printing report to pdf Mike, I use your code but with a different report obviously, but it prints perfectly. I have acrobat 9 (full). What version of acrobat is installed on the computer you are using? Also, the filesize is suspiciously small at 1k. Are you printing to a directory where you have write permission? ----- Original Message ----- From: "mike epstein sony viao office" <[email protected]> To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, September 18, 2010 3:03 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: printing report to pdf > Razzak > > While in Report Designer, are you able to [Preview] the report? >>preview works in designer > Are you able to PRINT the same report with OPTION SCREEN? >>yes > Are you able to PRINT the same report with OPTION PRINTER? >>yes >>What is the exact syntax you are using, including the OPTION for > |FILENAME"? > >> >>The command is >>PRINT BID2FBTXT + >>WHERE bidnum = .vbidnum OPTION SCREEN + >>|WINDOW_STATE MAXIMIZED + > |ZOOM_TYPE PERCENTAGE + > |ZOOMPERCENT 100 + > |THEMENAME R:BASE ROCKS! > RETURN > From the screen I use the 'print to file option and give it a > 'filename.pdf > > > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of A.
