Printing a PDF file from within Navision

magic32

Does anybody know of a method or possibly a driver that will allow me to print a PDF file from directly within Attain. Specifically, we have items that have a link to the actual PDF file. When printing a work order we would like to print the linked PDF file at the same time. Any suggestions??

You have several answers to your problem in mibuso forum.

You can just print the report to the Acrobat Printer driver or you have a technical solution posted before if you don´t want to use Acrobat

Hiya luis...

I've been using an SDK from www.amyuni.com, they have a printer driver that does this - the PDF Converter. Try their demo and see if you like it. I do

navnav

Acrobat Distiller is also OK.

I am searching and searching, but still didn't found the clear answer:

I want to print a pdf document from a form such as production order, just like to print routing sheet etc.
Which command can I use to print it exactly? I don't want to create or open the file but just to print it?
Have anyone any idea?

Best regards,
Rizal

Hi!

The following C/AL code should do the job:

result:=SHELL('C:\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe',STRSUBSTNO('/p /h "%1"',filename));

just substitute "filename" with full path to PDF file and "c:\acrobat\acrobat.exe" to full path to AdobeAcrobat or Adobe Acrobat Reader.

hope that helps,

Dear damn,

would you please specify where one should insert this code?

Thanks

Suggestion:
Create a new processing-only report
Add this to Report Selections

The processing report would then be responsible for checking to what PDFs need to be printed at the same time - and would be called automatically

The only difficulty is trying to ensure that all the documents go to the same printer!

Of any use?

works great

result:=SHELL('C:\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe',STRSUBSTNO('/p /h "%1"',filename));

This works great, except it leaves adobe reader open. The adobe application does not have the focus and the file that is being printed is not open, just the adobe application remains open. Is there a shell command that will close the adobe reader application?

Thanks in advance,
Eric

If You're using Adobe Reader Vers. 5 You can use command /t instead of /p /h, this thing will open reader,print, and close reader. Versions 6..8 doesn't close reader after printing, so it's solution only for Adobe Reader 5.
