XbpPDF Version 6 Available

[eborger]

Hello,

we are happy to announce the new version 6.0 of the XbpPDF and GraPDF classes. Some new features have been added to both classes, as well as a rewrite of some of the existing methods, to make the classes more reliable and efficient.

The new version is 100% compatible with Express++, once you create your Express++ report, you can save it as a PDF with one click.

The new files and the upgrade option are available in our site, http://www.borger.com.br/softsupply

Hi,

The new version is 100% compatible with Express++, once you create your Express++ report, you can save it as a PDF with one click.

Do you have a sample of this? I didn't find this in the docs on your site.

Chris,

here the way we do it. Edgar has a express.prg included.
But note: As we know, this is only possible in preview mode.

Code: Select all

IF empty( fo->pdfname )
   aadd(aAddButtons,{60,20,"PDF",{||CreatePDF(,fo->pdfshow, fo->pdfemail, NIL, NIL,cOwnerPW, cUserPW)} })
ELSE
   aadd(aAddButtons,{60,20,"PDF",{||CreatePDF(GenOutDir(m_az,Nil,.t.)+rtrim( fo->pdfname)+"_"+dtos(date())+".pdf",fo->pdfshow, fo->pdfemail, NIL, NIL,cOwnerPW, cUserPW)} })
ENDIF
