Something like this…
 
SET VAR vLaunchProg = 'convert.exe' – might need full path
SET VAR vFileIn TEXT = ‘file.PDF’
SET VAR vFileOut TEXT = ‘file.JPGF’
SET VAR vLaunchParams = (.vFileIn & .vFileOut)
SET VAR vLaunch = (.vLaunchProg & '|' & .vLaunchParams & '|W')
LAUNCH .vLaunch

How would you normally run it from within RBase?  Dynamically write a batch

No, I don't want to go non-automated.  These will be shop guys at a shared

I might have to get someone there to perhaps create jpgs of the current PDFs

Karen,
If you want a non-automated process, you can always use the Windows Sniping 
tool. Simply start the tool, select the area you want copied and then save the 
image as a JPG file. Pretty simple, I use it all the time to capture partial 
screen images.
You can find the snipping tool under All Programs>>Accessories and then you can 
pin it permanently to the task bar.

Unless something has changed lately, I know you cannot place a
PDF inside an RBase report, like you can a JPG.  (I don't want a link,
I want the actual one-page PDF)

My notes say that the solution is to convert the PDF to a JPG, but
I have no examples or recommendations of programs. Has anyone
used a free, easy to install program to convert a PDF to a JPG?
I am going to want to have RBase do the conversion "on the fly"
when a report is requested with no intervention from the user.  

I am going to design a report with data info on the 1st page and the 
PDF file printed as the second page, duplexed.  That's why I can't just
print the PDF directly, following the report.

Everyone has a full version of Adobe on their computers, so if there's
a way to automatically launch Adobe with a conversion parameter
that'd be great.

Thanks for any help!

You can use a tool that does it command line. Then you can run it from Rbase.

ImageMagick is free

I believe to convert you can do

Convert myfile.pdf myfile.jpg

Or
Magick myfile.pdf myfile.jpg

I am going to want to have RBase do the conversion "on the fly"
when a report is requested with no intervention from the user.  

I am going to design a report with data info on the 1st page and the 
PDF file printed as the second page, duplexed.  That's why I can't just
print the PDF directly, following the report.

Everyone has a full version of Adobe on their computers, so if there's
a way to automatically launch Adobe with a conversion parameter
that'd be great.

Thanks for any help!

Karen

RE: [RBASE-L] - Embedding PDF in a report

Karen,
If you want a non-automated process, you can always use the Windows Sniping 
tool. Simply start the tool, select the area you want copied and then save the 
image as a JPG file. Pretty simple, I use it all the time to capture partial 
screen images.
You can find the snipping tool under All Programs>>Accessories and then you can 
pin it permanently to the task bar.

Unless something has changed lately, I know you cannot place a
PDF inside an RBase report, like you can a JPG.  (I don't want a link,
I want the actual one-page PDF)

My notes say that the solution is to convert the PDF to a JPG, but
I have no examples or recommendations of programs. Has anyone
used a free, easy to install program to convert a PDF to a JPG?

We use Adobe Pro DC and if you look in Tools/Export PDF there  are a number of 
options, including Image formats such as JPEG, JPEG 2000, etc.
