Help with vfp6 and dopdf7 please

[FMSOFT]

Hi there, Kindly assist please. I generate my vfp6 reports to PDF files using Dopdf7. I need a way to automatically fill in the PDF filename, instead of it defaulting to 'visual foxpro.pdf', I curently use the Keyboard command but this does NOT work so hunky-dorry. Any alternatives please. I thank you kindly in advance for any assistance is this regard.

As far as I know, you can't do this interactively within DoPDF7 itself. The end-user sees a Save As dialogue, where they navigate to a folder and enter a filename, and you can't communicate with that from within your app.

However, you can set the filename programmatically if you are using the novaPDF SDK. In that case, check the documentation for the SetOptionString() method. In general, this lets you set various parameters for the conversion, including the name and destination of the target PDF file.

Mike
