Hi

How do i save a iterative report as pdf automatically?

The file name should be based on the record variable used in the iteration.

i m able to implement the loop but its asking for a file name for each iteration in the loop.

Please help!!

Thanks

Hi,

You will need to code the routine using the PDF generator (e.g. PDFCreator, BullZip) as an automation and call it with the filename. As Jordi suggests - search for detailed posts on this.

Whatever PDF Printer you are using needs a filename. If you can’t supply it through the code you may need to switch to something like PDFCreator. There are lots of posts on how to add this automation code to your NAV Business Logic.
