Create PDF file with NAS

Cyber-Jedi

Hi!

I have a problem. I've tried Adobe Acrobat, PDF995 and some more...

My problem is that I want the NAS to create an PDF file from an report.
NAS is running as a Service on a Windows 2003 Server, the rervice is running as a valid system user.
All code works except the printer doesn't create a PDF file..

I get the following in Application Log:

---

Printer:
Right PDF printer
do not exist on this computer

---

Anyone had this problem or a solution to it?


Best Regards,

Jonas H.

You tried Amyuni?

We use it for same purpose (creating pdf with NAS) with success...

Cyber-Jedi

No, that one I didn't try!

I'll try it tomorrow... Getting back with result asap.

Remember that it is the NAS account that is actually printing.

If you log on to the NAS server as the NAS user account it should have the pdf printer available.

When you direct the print to the PDF printer it must be the NAS user that has the printer. So maybe you need to change the Printer Selection for the NAS user in Navision.

Some ideas anyway. Good luck.

Now when I tried It I got the same error message, is this a 3.60 issue?

Waldo

Don't think it is, because we use it on a 3.60 NAS Service...

Could you please give me some detail of your solution?

Everything is working EXCEPT the PDF creation.

Cyber-Jedi

SOLVED!!!

You have to set to use system defualt printer when running the REPORT.RUN

Then it works!

Thanks everyone for tyring to give me some ideas.

You should check the "Attachment" codeunits and tables. Everything you have to know is in there... .

Hi,

In my "attachment" table, "LinkToMessage" Function there is an Automation parameter called "CDOMessage", in my table it subtype show as "Unknown Automation Server.Unknown Class".

I want to know why it shows like this?What i have to do?

(I am using Navision 4.0 SP1.)

But in same function there is an Automation variable called CDOHandler with "Navision Attain ApplicationHandler'.CDOHandler" Automation.

Thank You

As I konw, Navision will choose the printer which has been set for the user in "Pinter Selection" table. If it find the printer it will use it to run printing job for the user. If not it will chosse the system default printer which has been setup in the oprating system. That means we do not need to change the default system printer to some pdf printer. Actually we can define the pdf printer for the user who wants to run the pdf printer task in "Printer Selection" table. Then you can select it with giving some simple setfilter coding before running report.run(). But you should be aware that the third parameter of report.run() must be false which means you dont want to use system default printer.
