Re: Open printing to pdf

What happens if you remove the space from the file path? Does it still behave the same? Phil Davis On 5/12/20 4:23 PM, GEORGE WOOD via use-livecode wrote: Here is on example of what I tried: on mouseup put “⁩/Desktop⁩/test files/Test.pdf” into temp open printing to pdf temp print cd 1

Re: Open Printing to PDF

Hello Camm, Are they all printing the same text? If I recall correctly, Open Printing to PDF is where the fail occurs when certain Unicode characters are encountered. Emojis are one example where characters will render in a field but not print to a PDF. Hmmm... I wasn’t able to turn up a bug

Re: Open printing to PDF error

Yeah, error messages can be misleading sometimes. Often the command is simply returning a message the OS or API passed back to it, and that message can be less than helpful. For example, on copiers, when using StartTLS for encryption in SMTP communications, the server may reject the connection

Re: Open printing to PDF error

The file path is selected by the user through a standard 'answer file ... ' dialog. The code does not currently check to see if the folder the user selected for the file is writable, but tests of trying to save to a read-only (non writable) folder on Windows results in a controlled error dialog

Re: Open printing to PDF error

NVM you provide a file path. You may want to check that the folder exists before writing the pdf. Do you ask the end user where they want to put the file first, or do you assume a destination folder? Bob S > On Apr 26, 2018, at 07:57 , Bob Sneidar via use-livecode >
