PDF Help File ??

Post by Mel_Smith_(Guest) » Tue Jul 23, 2002 12:21 am

Dear Friends (and Kathleen too),____ I purchased v9.0 last week, and it arrived by Fedex today.____ I want to learn about creation of PDF files (as an export file), but could not find any info on PDF file creation in the help documentation.____ Could someone tell me where to look in the provided help files.____ Also, I have Build 9.0.009 of V9.0 Is there a more recent patch ? And, if so, can I download it ??____TIA,____-Mel Smith__(a longtime v6.0a user and a briewf 8.1 user)____

The only info on the PDF driver is in the README file.__Here is what it currently says:____R&R PDF Driver__At the request of many users, we have included an R&R PDF printer driver with Version 9. With this driver you can _print_ the fully formatted output of your report to PDF file. __This PDF file can then be read using any PDF viewing program such as the Abode Acrobat Reader (which is also included with R&R in the PDFDOCS directory of the distribution CD.) The R&R PDF driver is only available for use within R&R. Each time you run the Report Designer, the driver is installed for internal use and then removed when you exit the program.__To create a PDF file within R&R, select File Print and then from the printer menu select R&R PDF Export. Then check the Print to File checkbox and enter a file name with the extension .PDF in the Print File text box. When you click ok, R&R will create the PDF file. __The R&R PDF driver can also be used within the Report Viewer by explicitly setting RI_WPTR to R&R PDF Export and RI_OUTFILE to a filename.PDF. ____Kathleen__R&R Support
