I have installed a PDF writer on my PC for printing BaaN report. But, BWPrint is too slow to print many pages. Can a Device / Print query be set such that BaaN prints the report to my PDF writer directly like printing to a printer.
My company BaaN server is overseas and runs on Unix.
Please advice. Thank!

Check out the PDF code posted by ~Vamsi in the code and utilities forum. You may be able to use something like that with your PDF writer.

I have read ~Vim post, but it seems a "server-side" solution (right?!). I have not right to change server setting and my server administrator has said that could do nothing. Thus, I have to use a "client-side" solution. I have tried some buddies' suggestion that setup a device to call client-side application; however, it fails (poor! don't not why....). An error message is returned "Conversion to ascii:c: is not supported yet"

The "argument" field on the Device Data settings is case sensitive.

Try to use this -

ASCII:notepad

Thank!

I have copied and pasted your arguement. However, I still get the error "Conversion to ASCII:notepad in not support yet" :confused:


P.S. I can call notepad directly in DOS prompt. My desktop OS is MS XP.

Actually ~Vamsis' solution is a client side solution. What you do is write a conversion device like ttstpconv. The new conversion tool creates some batch files on the client, launches them and creates the PDF file. So it does require you to develop a tools program.

And for you other error are you running the current tools patch? I created the below attached device and it works for me.
