Hello everybody, I have to write a pdf from within Navision. I found a solution which is cheap for licenses. I have only one problem, when i install pdf995, i want to use properties of it in Navision (automation). But i don’t see the automation which is linked to pdf995. [}:)] Has somebody got a solution for me ? What do I need extra of programs, which automation do I have to use, … Thanks in advance Steve
Hi, You go to navision report preview print and select pdf995 as printer name to write the report to a pdf file. Best Regards, Anuchandran.C
If you have Adobe PDFWriter installed, you can use Windows Scripting automators to edit the registry as per the Acrobat SDK (see http://partners.adobe.com/asn/acrobat/download.jsp). Set up the report to use the PDFWriter in Report Selections or set the PDFWriter as the default printer. If the report is set not to use a Request Form, it will write directly to the file you specify in the registry key. Brad
I new that and that works perfect. I just want to set the properties of pdf995 from within Navision. So i need a variable (automation of pdf995), which i don’t find. Acrobat works fine but is to expensive on licenses. Greetzzz
This is a pretty old topic and so this may be old news, but have you found the pdf995.ini file? Mine looks like this… [Parameters] Quiet=0 User File=C:\TEMP\FAXTEMP.pdf Combine Documents=0 Output File=C:\TEMP\FAXTEMP.pdf Launch=C:\TEMP\FAXTEMP.pdf [Debug] EndDocPort1=1 EndDocPort2=1 EndDocPort3=1 After it’s done with the (silent) print process I can go get the file and attach it to a fax job.

Hi Mark my interest is the work of your fax job. We want to fax from within navision. BUT we don’t want an expensive server solution as well. How do you fax from within navision ???
We’re using Castelle’s hardware/soft[:o)]ware product called FaxPress. We have the "SBE (Small Business Edition) version that get’s started for about $1,500. The product consists of a hardware device with an ethernet jack that sits on the network and has a telephone jack. Add to that, server management software to load on a Windows server, and client software to load on a workstation. It shows up as a virtual printer or there is a little software development kit available that we use to configure a fax job control file from within Navision and then attach documents and send. It maintains a que with status. It’s not extremely elegant because we are firing fax jobs in the shell, (not OCX/Automation), but it works, it’s not expensive, it’s stable and the fax monitoring client software is pretty good. It has survived Workstation and Server O/S upgrades. Hope that helps.
