Hello!!!!

I am trying to run the below code using NAS. But no PDF file is getting generated. Pls suggest.

The same code is working fine while running the same directly from Classic Client.

IF ISCLEAR(PDFCreator) THEN
CREATE(PDFCreator);

IF ISCLEAR(PDFCreatorError) THEN
CREATE(PDFCreatorError);

filedir := 'D:\';
filename := 'Finish Goods Stock';
PDFCreatorError := PDFCreator.cError;

IF PDFCreator.cStart('/NoProcessingAtStartup',TRUE) = FALSE THEN
ERROR('Status: Error: ' + PDFCreatorError.Description);
filename1 :=CONVERTSTR(FORMAT(filename),'.','_');
fn := CONVERTSTR(FORMAT(filename1),'/','_');
attachlocation := 'D:'+'\'+fn+'.pdf';

PDFCreatorOption := PDFCreator.cOptions;
PDFCreatorOption.AutosaveDirectory := filedir;
PDFCreatorOption.AutosaveFilename := fn;
PDFCreatorOption.UseAutosave := 1;
PDFCreatorOption.UseAutosaveDirectory := 1;
PDFCreatorOption.AutosaveFormat := 0;
PDFCreator.cOptions := PDFCreatorOption;
PDFCreator.cClearCache();
DefaultPrinter := PDFCreator.cDefaultPrinter;
PDFCreator.cDefaultPrinter := 'PDFCreator';
PDFCreator.cPrinterStop := FALSE;
REPORT.RUNMODAL(50084,FALSE,TRUE,Item);

Thanks,

    make sure the nas user is local admin on the box and nas is running on same box where pdfcreator is installed.
    Also make sure you are using the same creator version.

    Did you try to run the report from the Classic Client, but with the NAS user?

    Sometime there is problem with the functionality checking new version of PDF Creator. You need to disable it, else it could stuck on the dialog opened when PDFCreator is started (the "There is new version of PDF Create, do you want to download it..." or something similar).

    Just tried stopping my service, ran NAS in a command prompt. It ran picked up the job queue entry but still no joy.

    (The command prompt window show the MESSAGE('Running report') I put in the code so i can see it executed the code to run the report)

    PDFCreator never generated the .pdf file in my subdirectory on server. It's like the PDFCreator isn't intercepting the print job.
