how to create .pdf file in baan4 without using any other application like ghostscript.
I want to crete .pdf file in same way as we can create the excel output using only baan..

Well search the board for solutions to see how others solved this. I believe most involve a third party product that will convert an ascii(or other type file) into a pdf file. So as far as I know you need to use something like ghostscript to create the pdf file from ascii. Maybe adobe has a "all in one" product.

Good Luck!

You cannot.

Baan outputs text, or Postscript. You will have to postprocess it either on the server or on the client. Choices abound on how to do it depending on where you want to postprocess it.

Perhaps Baan will implement this in the future, however I do not see them backporting any such solution to Baan 4.

For printing to a PDF device a new device should be created in session Device Data (ttaad3500m000). The device type should be "Rewrite file", the checkbox "Intermediate File in XML Format" should be checked, the field Argument should contain a string starting with "XML -PDF:" and the name of the executable which should be started "acroRd32.exe". The field path should contain a filename on the server (like ${HOME}/pdf).
Porting set version 8.2b is needed to implement this solution.
