You would have to modify the report, but it is possible.

Thanks for the reply.......
Can you give me some more help?

ara3n

well how experienced are you with NAV?

Are you on classic or RTC? and have you seen the solutions for classic on how to save reports as PDF?

Kc_Nirvana

I have some experience in developing on NAV.....
Yes i have seen the code here with the bullzip PDF but i am not that good in developing............
I am trying to send to pdf on the classic version......

I suggest to contact your Local solution center to help you on how to get started at least.

I don't know if it's possible to put all the step required. It would be as though actually doing the modification for you.

If you have specific question we can help you.

Generating PDF's involves using a PDF-generating utility of some sort, e.g. Bullzip. With Bullzip, you would have to write code to generate a new filename at the beginning of each page - to my knowledge, Bullzip does not have the capability (as far as I have been able to determine) to automatically generate a separate PDF per page. But there are many products with PDF-generating capability. In general, they all work with NAV in a similar fashion - you write code to generate your PDF's, and I'm sure that some of them have the "split" option to do so.

With Bullzip, here's some sample code that I use. In this case note that I am COMBINING invoices into a SINGLE PDF - the opposite of what you want to accomplish:

FileDirectory := 'I:\';
FileName := 'FF' + "Invoice No." + '.pdf';
BullzipPDF.SetPrinterName('PDF-FLG');
BullzipPDF.Init;
BullzipPDF.LoadSettings;
IF FirstInvoice <> TRUE THEN  // More than one invoice goes to the PDF, so append it to the previous one
  BullzipPDF.SetValue('MergeFile', FileDirectory + FileName);
BullzipPDF.SetValue('Output',FileDirectory+FileName);
BullzipPDF.SetValue('Showsettings', 'never');
BullzipPDF.SetValue('ShowPDF', 'no');
BullzipPDF.SetValue('ShowProgress', 'no');
BullzipPDF.SetValue('ShowProgressFinished', 'no');
BullzipPDF.SetValue('SuppressErrors', 'yes');
BullzipPDF.SetValue('ConfirmOverwrite', 'no');
BullzipPDF.WriteSettings(TRUE);

Other products will have other methods available to control the various settings. But even with Bullzip, it would not be terribly difficult to create code to create a new PDF each time the page number changed.

Hope that helps.

the control on how to split the pages can be done from nav. You would simply run the report to print one page at a time and save it as pdf.
