Imprimindo direto em PDF

Para tal, nós precisamos setar certos valores nos parâmetros de impressão antes de rodar o relatório.

// Variables
PrintJobSettings    printJobSettings;
ReportRun           myReportRun;
 
...
 
// Recuperando os parâmetros do relatório
printJobSettings = myReportRun.printJobSettings();
 
// Configurando nossos parâmetros
printJobSettings.setTarget(PrintMedium::File);
printJobSettings.preferredTarget(PrintMedium::File);
 
printJobSettings.format(PrintFormat::PDF);
printJobSettings.preferredFileFormat(PrintFormat::PDF);
 
printJobSettings.fileName("c:\\attachment.pdf");
 
// Salvando os valores
myReportRun.unpackPrintJobSettings(printJobSettings.packPrintJobSettings());
 
// Rodando o relatório
myReportRun.run();

Antes de rodar o relatório, podemos configurar os valores da query:

query = myReportRun.query();
qbds = query.dataSourceNo(1);
 
qbds.range(1).value(_custTable.CustAccount);
qbds.range(2).value("");
qbds.range(3).value(queryvalue(NoYes::Yes));
 
myReportRun.run();

Nota: Para usar uma impressora PDF como o “PDFCreator”, simplesmente configure o nome do dispositivo como:

1	myReportRun.deviceName("PDFCreator");

Olá, Ricardo
Thanks for the example. I was researching alternative ways of generating PDF from Ax and stumbled upon your post.

I have “PDFCreator” installed, but cannot make the “this.deviceName(“PDFCreator”);” line to work. Ax still generates PDF using it’s own engine. Have you been able to do so?

Mindaugas, are you sure that your code is running in the client tier?

Regards.

Yes, it’s running on client.
I was looking for a way to print sales invoices to PDFCreator automatically without popping up of a “Save as.. ” dialog. I was hoping, that PDFCreator would make some use of printJobSettings.fileName(“c:\\attachment.pdf”); but it’s just not the way it works :)
I found no way to pass file name to PDFCreator from Ax. It has AutoSave mode, but it is also not very usable in my case.

I found an acceptable solution with Bullzip PDF Printer which has option to silently generate file name from the document name, which contains Ax invoice Id, so I can easily locate the PDF file.

Have a nice day!
