PDF documents started to appear in black and white

[ryancairns]

Hi,

We have been using Amyuni PDF Convertor v2.50 for around 6 months with Microsoft Dynamics NAV.

I have recently noticed that documents are being converted to black/white or greyscale. I don't know much about PDFs to even determine the difference.

Documents used to appear in colour and my code has not changed since we started using Amyuni.

I read somewhere that this might be some incompatibility with the latest version of Adobe?

Can anybody shed any light on the matter? I can provide more details and code if necessary.

Many thanks,

Ryan

Was using the search term "black white" and not finding mucgh today but after searching for the word "color" finding a lot more topics.

So I have discovered that changing my default printer to a colour printer resolves this issue. Perhaps Amyuni have fixed this in a later version.
Which leads me onto my next question.

I am unable to get Navision working with v3.0. Does anyone know much about this? I saw some topics which I will have to study more about incompatibilities. The original posted claimed his issue was resolved by changing to v2.5.

Please post if you have any info - many thanks.

Hello,

Are you using version 3.02?

What is the problem you are getting?

Whe using version 3.02 I get the message
"You cannot print to PDFPRINTER winspool LTP1:."

My code in NAV (C/AL language) which works fine (apart from black & white issue) in Amyuni version 2.5:

PDFConv.FileNameOptions(3);
PDFConv.Orientation(1);
PDFConv.SetDefaultConfig;
PDFConv.DefaultDirectory(rCompanyInfo."PDF Stored Documents Directory");
PDFConv.SetDefaultPrinter;

//variable tFilename previously set
PDFConv.DefaultFileName:= tFilename;

//Call to print report goes here

PDFConv.FileNameOptions(0);
PDFConv.RestoreDefaultPrinter;
PDFConv.DriverEnd;

Thanks

Hello,

The error you are getting is not generated by our driver, it seems like an error generated by your application.

Please check the following however:

1 - That you are calling EnablePrinter() right before your Print command.

2 - That the printer name you are specifying in your code is the same as the actual name of the PDF Printer installed on your system.

3 - That the activation code you are using is for version 3.02 of the PDF Converter

I have seen this problem in our app. The reason you are seeing B&W is that even though your data is in colour, PDF Converter will show it to you the way it's going to appear on the B&W printer that you are using as destination - that is, in shades of grey.

You need to initialize all the printer parameters, including the colour attribute.
