Micros 3700 v4.9 autosequence PDF reports are Damaged

[walter1917]

I have Micros 3700 v4.9 and am looking to generate some reports. I've created an Autosequence and am setting it up in Autosequence Steps.

When I export it to a PDF, it builds the file but when I try to open it "File is damaged or corrupt".

I've done this same process in Micros v5.0+ and had no issues. The system itself saves reports as docs but I'm looking for PDF.

Has anyone been able to automate PDF reports in 3700 v4.9?

Thanks!

How are you exporting it to a pdf? Just naming the export file something.pdf won't work on Res4.x.

Take a look at this thread

http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1648503,

it has code for a batch file that was used to export reports in different formats before Res5 was released.

Yes - I'm just creating an Autosequence and named it to something.pdf, as we do in 5.0+

I see the batch file. Have you successfully done it? I'm not understanding how to set it up with the batch, autosequence and calls.

The default crystal reports is producing a doc. I'd be glad to use an excel or csv.
