can pdfCreator create/save pdf by sales invoice no.

teckpoh

Hi Experts,

Can pdfCreator save my report to pdf file by sales inv no?
Example:
When i print "Sales Inv" rpt and filtered by inv no: 1000..3000
and i expect pdfCreator to create and save 3 individual reports which like 1000.pdf, 2000.pdf and 3000.pdf.
Unfortunately at the moment pdfCreator save all records that belong to inv no 1000..3000 into a single pdf file.

How to implement tis??
Below is my coding:

IF ISCLEAR(PDFCreator) THEN
CREATE(PDFCreator);
IF ISCLEAR(PDFCreatorError) THEN
CREATE(PDFCreatorError);

filedir := 'C:\sentbox';
filename := "Sales Invoice Header"."No."+'.pdf';
PDFCreatorError := PDFCreator.cError;

IF PDFCreator.cStart('/NoProcessingAtStartup',TRUE) = FALSE THEN
ERROR('Status: Error: ' + PDFCreatorError.Description);

PDFCreatorOption := PDFCreator.cOptions;


PDFCreatorOption.AutosaveDirectory := filedir;
PDFCreatorOption.AutosaveFilename := filename;
PDFCreatorOption.UseAutosave := 1;
PDFCreatorOption.UseAutosaveDirectory := 1;
PDFCreatorOption.AutosaveFormat := 0;


PDFCreator.cOptions := PDFCreatorOption;
PDFCreator.cClearCache();
DefaultPrinter := PDFCreator.cDefaultPrinter;
PDFCreator.cDefaultPrinter := 'PDFCreator';
PDFCreator.cPrinterStop := FALSE;

Thank in advace~~

You need to call the report for each invoice as seaparate report. Filter record over the invoices and call the report in a loop (filter for the specific no. before calling the report) with just changing PDF name.

Dear Kine,

If i call each invoice in a separate report i wonder how i'm gotta to specify the filtering? User might need to enter the filtering "date", "invoice no" in the report itself.

kine

Ah, ok, than you can have one report, which just read the filters, and instead printing will just run the real printing report in a loop for each header in the filter range...

Instead of do it by 2 rpt is it possible to write code and doing some control inside a report with pdfCreator method/property?

kine

No, it is not possible, because printing one report is one print job and you cannot divide it into more files.
