Microsoft Print To PDF, auto filename

#1 Post by clp1000 »

Hello
Is it possible to send a filename to the "Microsoft print to PDF" driver, to bypass the user entering the filename each time ?

Thanks
Chris

Hi,

Yes, just use the FILE parameter of dcprinter. (TOFILE OUTFILE .... )
Best regards,

Thanks, but we're using Alsaka Software, we don't have DCprinter ( I don't think )

Hi,

From the docs: :setPrintFile( [<cFileName>] ) --> cOldFileName | NIL

If you are using XbpPrinter class, the documentation should tell you what you need to know.
