Printing

lineamovil

Thank you,

Im using a PROCESS to print a REPORT called "CartaPorte". The syntaxis is this:
PRINT DOCUMENT CartaPorte

It prints on the server, but not on the user, or client computer. Also, if the server has only configured XPS printer, then once you access again to the AwareIm App shows some Error messages. (But it still lets you work).

I want to be able to print on a remote computer, and not in the server printer.

Thank you!!

The only way you can print on client computer is "PRINT FORM" Action. See the User Guide for documentation.

Hello!

I also found DISPLAY DOCUMENT to work. It shows up like a PDF in a web page.

Thank you for your comments!

Yes, you are right. I thought you were trying to print in 1 step.

I'll continue this thread with my concern, as some groundwork for my question is already here.

I have a set of 14 documents, all PDFs, that my users need to be able to print, and the system will be hosted, so printing them in a hosting center will not be appropriate. I cannot consolidate the documents with the report designer because, while it has been strong enough for the individual documents, it does not have the feature set to combine them all.

I read in the manual under "PRINT FORM" that I can only send "PRINT DOCUMENT" to the server. (I would suggest adding this point under the "PRINT DOCUMENT" section of the manual, as it only refers to "default printer," which is subject to interpretation -- my browser session has a "default printer."

Anyway, asking my users to VIEW DOCUMENT 14 times (even though I can sequentially force feed them) and execute a print command 14 times is a bit onerous, so I need something a bit more user friendly.

So, finally a question: Has anyone dealt with utilities that combine PDFs into a single document? I have done this with Acrobat for one-off uses, but using Adobe for this functionality in a server mode has a high price tag. I am thinking I'll have to output my 14 documents to a folder on the server in a concurrency-safe fashion, run such a utility to combine the documents, if I can find one and then "VIEW DOCUMENT" the combined document and let my users print it with Acrobat Reader (once).

Any experience or suggested utilities would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Have a look at pdftk.exe, just google it.

Thanks, Rod.

Yes, I found it after my post. It does the job very well and no cost. I can distill 14 reports into one PDF. Great.
