Print to PDF and get control over the filename

John · 2004-07-27

Hello all,

I tried printing to the PDF995 virtual printer. Works fine although the trial version is annoying.
To keep track of the files create I want to be in control over the name of the output file. PDF995 accepts a path and a name but the default in Navision is the caption of the report.
How and where can I interfere with this? For the Sales invoice I want the name to be i.e. 'Sales Inv SI-00231.PDF'

While you're looking in to this, is it possible to change the printer depending on a Boolean on the option screen ('Print or PDF).

Hoop you'll have the answers for me,

John

Had the same problem with a TIFF-printer driver and I tried varous of them. I found the easiest solution at http://www.docu-track.com with SDK-Versions of the drivers.
They allow full handling of the resulting file and other neat features. They are worth the money, because you pay only once for the driver and can use them in as many installations as you need.

the $9.95 price for pdf995 without the pop-ups is well worth the money.

if you also get the pdfedit995 it has an option for filenames - it can even auto increment the name.

try it for free and see if it answers your problem

Custom PDF solutions seem to be invented over and over, so we created an add-on to handle the requirement simply and enable developers to focus on other functionality (just a few lines of code can integrate with our add-on and PDF-enable any report).
