We print first to the default printer (to get a paper copy), then use lOnn:= oReport:PrinterDevice:SetPrinterByName("Pdfcreator"), check if lOnn is true, issue a oReport:print(), start a loop checking if the pdf has been created and what its size is (the printing to pdf will take some time and I have not found a way to get a message from the printer saying it is ready so you just have to poll). When we know the pdf exists and is of the right size then just attach it to a message, check the attachmentinfo to see it is there for sure and send it. The pdfcreator is configurable so you can make it work totally transparent. HTH, mot > We are in a need to automate the creation and attachment of a PDF that > comes from ReportPro3.
