[gy2cool]

Hi Friends

I am not able to create PDF file in PB 6.5. i download Ghostscript and confi the lacal printer.

and put the code as:

dw_1.Object.DataWindow.Export.PDF.Method = Distill!
dw_1.Object.DataWindow.Printer = "Sybase DataWindow PS"
dw_1.Object.DataWindow.Export.PDF.Distill.CustomPostScript="Yes"

After that a i use saveas function:
dw_1.SaveAs(filename, PDF!, FALSE)


But error message come

Enumerated data type Distill not supported.

Plz help me.

Looks to me like you need to define a pdf printer on your system and then print to that printer. I don't believe saving a datawindow to PDFs via Ghostscript came to PB until version 7.

You have to set up your pdf creator software as a printer in Windows. Set it as the default printer, then do a dw.print command.
