Refer to the Solution ID 211330

English Printing to PDF (Acrobat Reader) enabled
TOOLS VERSION(S): 7.6_a2
SITUATION DESCRIPTION: Printing to PDF was not supported in SSA ERP LN.
SOLUTION DESCRIPTION: Printing to PDF is enabled in SSA ERP LN.

I have installed all the fixes mentioned for LN6.1, but PDF-printing is not working.
Error:
"Printing to PDF:Error during conversion of ERP report data file"
Installed fixes:
200878tt
200890tt

Did you follow all the special instructions provided on the Baan support site-
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:
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.
The PDF is enabled as part of FP2. Are you on FP2/FP3 levels with the 8.2b Porting Set?

The Solutions 200878tt was delivered almost a year ago there are a number of fixes delivered.

You have to install the latest tools patches and if you still have issues you have to work with your local Baan Support.

Hi Rao,
We are using FP2 with Porting set 8.4a. we are trying for PDF Export. The Solution 200878tt is installed correctly. I have attached the error document.Please help us to solve this error.

Thanks in advance,

Thamarai,

Your device setup is incorrect. Here is a screen shot from our system and it works good.

Hi Rao,
Thanks for your reply.Now it works fine.


Thanks,
Thamarai.

Does someone know if this feature has been backported to version 5.0c?

try to delete the 4GL-program so this field must be empty
and change the argument in: XML -PDF:acroRD32.exe
do not use " " in your argument
page length set to 66 (a lot better)

Thamarai,

Your device setup is incorrect. Here is a screen shot from our system and it works good.

Hi,
I have done the setup as NPR has given the screen shot for print device but still the system is giving error. The definition and the error is given in the attached file. We are with 7.6_a5 version of Baan LN. Please help us out to solve this error. Thanks.

Just tested in our FP5 environment and it didn't work :( you have to log a case with Baan/Infor Support to get a fix for it.
