Developer Document Converter - Timeout after EnablePrinter

rkkis · Post by **rkkis** » Thu Aug 14 2003

Our Problem:

Case 1:
PDFDriverInit ..
EnablePrinter with Developer Evaluation Key

Application works for supply of the data < 20 seconds
->printing -> ok

Case 2:
PDFDriverInit ..
EnablePrinter with Developer Evaluation Key

Application works for supply of the data > 20 seconds
->printing -> cannot open printer !!!

Is the printer put back automatically or wthats the problem?

Hi,

The enableprint() function should be called each time you send output to the Pdf Converter.

Ex: if you are printing in a loop, you should call the enableprinter function in the loop.

Hope this helps.

I had a similar problem to this where the same report would sometimes create a PDF file and sometimes not depending on how long the querying of data took between doing the EnablePrint and the first output to the printer.

I got round it by moving the EnablePrint so that it was called after the data query and before the printing started.
