Print a PDF after the report

thomas.zeimke@foca-gmbh.de

Hello, after printing a Report or included in the Report (if this is possible) a PDF File (it's stored in a database field) have to be printed out. How can i do that?

You need to add the Export component to the form, then the JPG and PDF exports work the same way. After you print the report, add code like this

JPEGExport->FileName = FN3;
JPEGExport->ShowDialog = true;
Report3->Export(JPEGExport);

Maybe I have not made myself clear what i wont.

I print a Report.
After the printing of the Report another pdf file (stored in a db field) schould also printed out same Printer without any Dialog.

If it's possible to get the pdf file in the Report it's also a solution for me - then i print it out as the last page of the Report.

I'm sure you could save the PDF to a file then call ShellExecute with acrobat. Usually they have command line arguments that allow you to print directly.

See this http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/...veloper_faq.pdf

It's on the very last page.

AcroRd32.exe /t path "printername" "drivername" "portname"

??? Start Adobe Reader and print a file while suppressing the Print dialog box. The path must be fully specified.

The four parameters of the
/t option evaluate to path, printername, drivername, portname

I just tried this and it worked!
c:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader>acrord32 /t "C:\PDF\test1.pdf" "HP Laserjet 3055 PCL5"

It printed the file.

Hope this helps.
