The following code prints a PDF file of an invoice in 7.1. The PDF file gets created,
I can open the file successfully here with both Adobe 5.1 and 6.0 readers, and with
Adobe Acrobat 6.0. However, Acrobat can't convert it to RTF giving this error:
Bad PDF: could not read page structure (bad page contents)
Many people I've sent these files to cannot open the file at all withe Adobe reader.
The code:
SET VAR vFileName = ('C:\Documents and Settings\David Blocker\My Documents\'+ +'DB'+.vCPID+'INV'+CTXT(.vINV#)+'.'+'PDF')
SET VAR vOptions = ('Filename'&.vFileName) PRINT INVOICE WHERE CPID = .vCPID AND BILL IS NULL ORDER BY InvoiceDate T# + OPTION PDF|.vOptions It creates a file like "DBBmaINV66.PDF"
Any suggestions?
David,
Why not create an RTF report with OPTIMIZATION EASE_OF_EDITING option?
