Please I need a quick solution.
Thanks

Hi,

I cannot reproduce this with TD6.1 SP4. Please try installing that version and test again.

Best regards,

Hi mvandine,
We have tested the same project with TD 6.1 SP4 .. and exactly the same error happened ..
We also found that the error occurs in Windows XP SP3 (TD61 SP3 and SP4).
You can try it in XP?

In windows 7 works both correctly.
What may be missing in XP? What dlls are used ?

Thanks

Hi:

Try the following:
Call SalFileOpen(hFile, "C:\\TEMP\\TEST.PDF", OF_Delete)
Call SalFileClose(hFile)
Call SalReportPrintToFile( hWndForm, 'TEST.QRP', 'C:\\TEMP\\TEST.PDF', 'texline','texline',1,RPT_PrintAll | RPT_PrintNoWarn,0,0, 2,Error )

HTH

Hi ..

Call SalFileOpen(hFile, "C:\\TEMP\\TEST.PDF", OF_Delete)
Call SalFileClose(hFile)


simply delete the File .. then ..

Call SalReportPrintToFile( hWndForm, 'TEST.QRP', 'C:\\TEMP\\TEST.PDF', 'texline','texline',1,RPT_PrintAll | RPT_PrintNoWarn,0,0, 2,Error )


throws some 'exception' .. simply because the file does no exists any more

So, that was not a solution ..

Hi Rober:

Yes, you need to delete the file.

I am attaching your revised apt (TD 6.1 SP4) and the pdf created.

It works fine for me.

'Yes, you need to delete the file.' ...

BUT .. if we do this, then SalReportPrintToFile does not find de report file ! ..

I don't get it, sorry.

Hi:

You need to delete the pdf file not the report file.

Since you are creating a new one, it does matter to be deleted.

I have tried my small app several times and it is working fine for me. It has to do with your current environment.

Hi Victor,
What do you suggest to check in the enviroment ?
What internal processes are involved? dlls ?

Thanks

[VEspinal]

Hi:

Make sure that you are not using old dlls. If that's the case change them to 6.1 dll

Did you check your path? Do you have another instance of TD in your machine?

Check under Tools --> Preferences --> Directories, if the path is pointing to the TD 6.1 directory?

If this can be possible, can you try to isolate the problem by having just one TD installed and test it again.

Thanks,

Unfortunately, it is not solved.
I tried it on six computers, and all fails with error:

Exception:
Message:
Conditional expression:
Filename:
Function:
Linenumber: 232

(With TestCase prueba.zip of Victor Espinal)

In all cases, it fails with Windows XP, and works well with Windows Seven
I tried installing the Deploy TD on computers where no TD, both SP3 and SP4, and also fails.

You can try it in Windows XP with TD 6.1 SP3?.

Thanks

I think I discovered what the problem is, or at least have an orientation.
If I use any QRP with NOT TRUE TYPE font, the error occurs.
This was also tried with SalReportPrintToFileEx function with SalReportPrintToFileEx = 1 or 2, and outputs the error "Font is not installed."
From what I gather to print to PDF, you just have to use only TRUE TYPE fonts.
See images.

Is there any way to detect all QRPs using particular source? (I have over 1000 QRPs).

Thanks

[VEspinal]

Hi there:

No, there is no way to detect all QRPS using particular source.

Did you think on the possibility on using a font conversion software?
