Cannot pint using RI_WPTR

Post by RoyP » Wed Feb 26, 2003 6:03 am

I am using the following text control file in order to offer a printer choice to the user, enabling them to print to screen, export or print. I have only recently tried using the RI_WPRT command in order to facilitate a choice of printers and enable output to a PDF file.____RI_REPORT=Generic Approved Supplier List .RRW__RI_DISPERR=T__RI_printer=?__RI_WPTR=?__RI_outfile=c:Report.PDF____The problem is that in order to output to a PDF I need to use RI_OUTFILE and specify a file name, but if the user then chooses an actual printer R+R simply sends the printer output to the RI_OUTFILE file instead of printing on the printer i.e. I cannot get printed output.____I hope I am just missing something but how can I offer a choice of printers and also offer the PDF output.____

If you are using anything prior to 10.0.012,you would have to go for 2 control files. One for PDF output and the other for PDF selection.____In Version 10.0.012 we have added the print to file checkbox in the runtime printer dialog. So you could leave RI_OUTFILE blank and then when the user selects the PDF driver, they could check the print to file box and enter a filename.____Kathleen__R&R Support
