Print FRX to PDF

Author: Tina Currie

Posted: 2010-07-30 10:00:18   Link

Hi,

I need to send an frx straight to a pdf - would rather not go through the

choose a printer - and have a PDF Printer installed etc.

Are there any neat little programs out there that work with VFP 9 on Win 7

??

I've tried Print2PDF but had problems.

TIA,

Tina

I think that PDFNet has a component in ActiveX or com that you can

tweak to do that.

I use the .net dll to take tiff and append to a pdf all the time.

Have a look at Luis Guillermo Navas Dangel's PDFx PDF Report Listener

<http://weblogs.foxite.com/luisnavas/default.aspx>. It's free and

super easy:

I just added it to a project of mine and only had to use the following

VFP lines:

Local loRptLsnr As PdfListener of lib\PDFx, lcPDFFile

*

* Do some data stuff here, and populate lcPDFFile with the file name

*

loRptLsnr = NewObject('PdfListener', 'PDFx.vcx')

loRptLsnr.cTargetFileName = lcPDFFile

loRptLsnr.lOpenViewer = .T. && Optional, opens PDF after creation

Report Form reports\toc_page To Printer Prompt Object loRptLsnr

> Are there any neat little programs out there that work with VFP 9 on Win 7

Works for me on XP and VFP 9.

Have look at www.report-sculptor.com

You can send one or more FRX-es sent into PDF.

No PDF drivers needed at user stations. Works with very fast HaruPdf

library.

All free.

Thanks Dave - I downloaded it this morning (as well as a few other goodies

from that same blog)

Have put it into the project and now the purchase orders are printing to PDF

perfectly, ready to email directly to supplier.

God (or whoever floats your boat) bless the FoxPro community - I am a happy

girl again..!

Tina

P.S. It really made a difference that you put the instructions for use in

your post - thanks extra for that.

I did notice a couple of minor nits to be aware of:

1) You'll also need to include hpdf_consts.h in your project if you

want to be able to "rebuild all" cleanly.

2) The target file must not already exist, or you'll get an exception.

You should check for it and delete it in your VFP code before running

the report.

FWIW, the report-sculptor mentioned upthread is looking pretty good

for a non-quick-and-dirty application I have in mind.
