[solved] savaaspdf is too slow

massimopasquali

hi,

I used SAVEASPDF to generate e PDF from report, but It's very slow to put off the pdf document. Someone can explain me why?

thanks

tinoruijs

Shouldn't be slow.
But using a SLEEP(1000) after generating the PDF is recommended.

using sleep will make it even slower.

Does the report run slow when previewing it?

Yes, you're right. Off course it will be slower. #-o
I was confused with one of my own problems regarding SAVEASPDF and using the generated pdf after that.

massimopasquali

No I dont't use sleep, this is my code :

//RECUPERO IL PATH DALLA TABELLA SETUP SERVIZI

PathOnServer.GET;
Filename := PathOnServer.PercorsoBonusGas;
Filename += FORMAT(CREATEGUID);
Filename := DELCHR(Filename, '=', '{-}');
Filename += '.pdf';

REPORT.SAVEASPDF(ReportID,Filename);
EXIT(Filename)

What Rashed said; Does the report run slow when previewing it?

Does manually saving as pdf to that directory take long?

massimopasquali

Sorry,

I have saved the file in the directory temp on NAV server that I have recorded on my Setup "PathOnServer.PercorsoBonusGas".

After that I have generated the PDF and after imported in the BLOB :

BLOBRef.INIT;
FileManagement.BLOBImportFromServerFile(BLOBRef,ServerFileName);

tinoruijs

That should be fast.
Do you know how many seconds it takes to generate the pdf?
And how many to import the pdf?

Slow and fast are subjective terms. What person A considers slow, maybe person B considers fast.

I have generated an invoice of two pages, NAV have used 15 seconds.

Do you use an image in company information?
Don't know if the invoice has got the same problem as the sales quote, but it could be the dataset for this invoice is too big.
You could check the size of the dataset by using print preview and then Help, About this list, Export as xml. Then check the size of the xml.

massimopasquali

Yes I'm using the Company image; the invoice hasn't problems, if I print on my Xerox the process uses 5 sec. to getting out the invoice printed.

Now I'm going to check how long is the dataset
