Save Report to PDF format Programmatically
- Thread starter gundie
- Start date
The way i've done it is to install a pdf converter like pdf995 (which looks like a printer) and it up to run in 'quiet' mode (no dialogs to screen) then programmatically save the default printer, change the default printer to the pdf995 one, print then change the default printer back.
In my case all done via a webbrowser object - dont know how you would do it in report view - the major problem being if you want to use the created file straight away (eg emailing or such) you have to wait for the conversion to finish which runs in the background
see (go to the bottom for the solution)
Hope it helps - will post the changing printer code if you need it
