Installing Adobe PDF

[Tom_Freitas_(Guest)]

I do exactly the same thing as you. I have one program that I can not run on my C: Drive, but it works perfectly fine if I put it on my D: Drive. I have found that when I distribute my programs to customers, that a large percentage have problems because of the CDINTF.DLL file. If they run a report, even if not creating a pdf, they in turn receive the same error that Windows is shutting down the report writer.____It is one of those problems that simply will not be found because it can not be replicated at R&R. ____I even create a .bat file with the lines rrwrun.exe pm.rrw This way I do not even need an rrwrunin.dbf file. If I run the program, it works great from DOS. If in the visual dBase 5.7, I run the program run(.t.,"test.bat") The program runs, but extremely slow and it comes out 20 times the size that it should come out. I might add here, that __I ran the above command from the command window of Visual dBase and not through a program.____Where the problem seems to happen is that the first screen that appears is the Display Screen. I then have to select print for the report to start processing. Once the report is finished, which can not be read by pdf reader, I get the following message:____R&R Report Viewer, Xbase Edition has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. If I press the debug button, it states: "PID is invalid"____If I run the bat file from DOS, the same thing as above happens, except it runs a lot faster and I do not get an error message. Also, the pdf can be read with the pdf reader, adobe.____Thanks

Thomas, I sent a response to your Email but was looking at the wrong lines in my program. I should be:____RI_Printer = " "__and RI_WPTR = "R&R PDF Export"__and RI_outfile = "c:dir est.pdf"__The rest is right. Sorry for the mixup. __Rick Johnson__Rick Johnson

I do exactly what you a showing in your RRWRUNIN.DBF file. Like I said above, I have it working on my D:Drive, but the same program will not work on my C:Drive.____Plus, from the Visual dBase command line I also get the error. On the command line I type run(.t.,"rrwrun.exe pm.rrw"), witch is the correct syntex. The report appears on the screen, as it should. If I press the print push button, which shows as it was saved for printing to pdf as well as the file name, The processing is extremely slow and the output can not be read. If I go to the DOS level and type rrwrun pm.rrw, the display screen appears, I press print and it works as it should. There is obviously a conflict somewhere of which I can not find. This is not just to my machine, but to a lot of my customers also. Not all of them, but a lot of them. I have also noticed that there are others on this board that seem to have the same problem. The solution by R&R is to delete the file CDINTF.DLL, which removes the ability to create pdf files.____As others of stated and I agree, R&R is great and I have no intentions of using anything else. I only have problems with this one issue.____Tom

What I recommend to resolve the problem if you can duplicate the problem is to do what I have done to resolve a few Advantage database server/Novell problems. I sent the test computer (it was only a $500 test computer) to Novell/Extended Systems and since they could replicate the problem extended systems could not on-site, the problem was eventually fixed.____You may want to pursue this.
