Help with Evaluation of Print Converter

Norm Smith · Post by **Norm Smith** » Tue Jun 10 2003

Support,

I have downloaded an evaluation version of your print converter so that I can evaluate it with my PowerBuilder application.

I have copied all the runtime files ( acfpdf.dll etc) into my application directory.

I watch the Printers folder as I run the attached code and I can see that the printer gets created, it becomes the default and then disappears. So most of the functionality seems to work, however there is never any output produced.

Can you please tell me what I am missing.

Code: Select all

long 		lv_hPrinter		//	printer handle
string	lv_Msg			//	message String


lv_hPrinter = PDFDriverInit ( "PowerView PDF Converter" )

if lv_hPrinter = 0 then
	MessageBox ( "PdfDriverInit FAILED", "0" )
	return 
end if

SetDefaultFileName ( lv_hPrinter, "C:\Temp\AMYUNI1.PDF" )
SetFileNameOptions ( lv_hPrinter, 3 )
SetDefaultConfig   ( lv_hPrinter )

// serial no truncated for the post only.

EnablePrinter ( lv_hPrinter, "Powervision Software Inc.", "07EFC..." )

SetDefaultPrinter ( lv_hPrinter )

dw_1.Print()

SetFileNameOptions ( lv_hPrinter, 0 )
RestoreDefaultPrinter ( lv_hPrinter )

DriverEnd ( lv_hPrinter )
return

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

Please try to call EnablePrinter() right after PDFDriverInit and right before the Print command.

Also please double check the the folder Temp effecitvely exists on your system.

Hope this helps. I will move your post to the PowerBuilder Forum.

Joan,

I re-downloaded the latest version and everything is working OK. The PowerBuilder code that would not work in the orginal post now works fine.

The only possibility I can think of is that perhaps I did not copy the license string correctly the first time.

Anyway, thanks for your help.
