RE: Kick off compile and build on remote server

Jim, Most likely a security issue with the user account your using. How is the account configure? Have you tried using Windows scheduler to run this and see what happens? Steve * Stephen J. Orth

Kick off compile and build on remote server

We're having trouble with "net stop" and "net start" running from a batch file on a Windows Server. Unless we right-click and run as Administrator, access is denied to stop or start a service, but we want this to happen "unattended" on the server. We could kick it off from a client, or have it

Re: Printing a PDF document from 4D

Sorry Rob, my mistake! I misread QPDF’s documentation and assumed the exact opposite, that QPDF Print Document was not implemented on Windows! duh!! I’ll take another look for sure. cheers, julio > On Mar 19, 2019, at 11:58 AM, Rob Laveaux via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com >

Printing a PDF document from 4D

We've been dealing with this issue with regard to converting HTML we generate from 4D to MS Word DOCX, and in the process, we ended up with a nice multi-format conversion tool that supports PDF as well. For years we've been using a free Windows desktop app called MultiDoc Converter by a

Printing a PDF document from 4D

We use GhostScript via LEP to convert the file from a PDF to a PCL document. Afterwards we open a connection to the printer using TCP commands and send with TCP_SendBlob. We do many PDFs this way and it works great. Cons are that it has to be an IP-configured printer. Pros are that it's silent.

RE: Printing a PDF document from 4D

Julio, Here is how we use this command to print: $returncode:=sys_ShellExecute ("print";$path;"";"";SW_HIDE) The $path variable contains the full path to the document I want to print. Best, Steve * Stephen J. Orth

Re: Printing a PDF document from 4D

I do have PDF Viewer, but on Windows you can’t print from an off-screen area, which means yo have to display the pdf on a form before printing it. I forgot to mention that I need to just “print” and external PDF. Printing has to happen in background and in some cases for 4D Server. So, no user

Re: Printing a PDF document from 4D

printing an HTML is not always easy (especially pagination) even with a good media specific CSS. https://github.com/miyako/4d-component-wkhtmltopdf besides, printing is a blocking process (only 1 job at a time) and not thread safe so I think it is preferable to generate PDF by code than to

Hello Robert, Thanks to 4D Service we were able to perform tests to simulate 1400 4D Remote connections with 4D server in order to verify, for one of our customers, the ability of 4D Server v16 to support the load on a WAN network for their specific application. For these tests we had to play
