Has anyone use Amyuni PDF Converter?

[Keepontrying]

I been trying to install the Amyuni PDF Converter and have been have a little trouble.

I need to be able to allow the user to print to their standard default printer or email the report to their corp office.

If I printed to the invoice printer and jump to the pdf printer I will get a "error loading printer driver" if I jump back to the laser printer now I get the same message.

I used the command
set printer to default when I finish with the pdf printer and It seem to make no different.

Here is my codes:

SET library to FLLINTF.FLL ADDITIVE
PDF = DRIVERINIT("pdf printer&quot
EnablePrinter(PDF,"Document Converter Demo","serial&quot
set printer to name "pdf printer"
report form invoice.frx noeject noconsole to printer
set printer to default


what else do I need to do

Thanks
John

Here is the code I use, I'm not sure if it will help:

SET LIBRARY TO "Fllintf.fll" ADDITIVE
PUBLIC NODUE
NODUE = 0
#DEFINE PRINTERNAME  "PDF Compatible Printer Driver"
#DEFINE NOPROMPTE             1
#DEFINE USEFILENAME           2
#DEFINE BROADCASTMESSAGES    32
#DEFINE ENABLEWATERMARKS     64

#DEFINE WFONTNAME          "Arial"
#DEFINE WFONTSIZE              70
#DEFINE WORIENTATION          450
#DEFINE WCOLOUR               255
#DEFINE WHORZPOS              200

Might it be that you aren't issuing the DRIVEREND( pdf )command? I believe this is the statement which releases the converter & restores the previous settings. The code I used was as follows, hope it helps.

* save default directory
SET LIBRARY TO "FllIntf210.fll" ADDITIVE

* Define PDF Converter "printer"

** initialize PDF printer
pdf = pdfdriverinit( "Amyuni PDF Converter" )
EnablePrinter( PDF, "company name.", "license stuffxxxxxx&quot

** Set output filename
defaultfilename( pdf, 'c:\pdf-folder\MYPDF.pdf')

filenameoptions( pdf, 1 + 2 + 32 + 64)

SET PRINTER TO NAME "Amyuni PDF Converter"

* Create PDF file
REPORT FORM reportname NOEJECT NOCONSOLE TO PRINTER

filenameoptions(pdf,0) && reset options

* Release PDF Converter and return old settings
driverend( pdf )

* back to default printer
SET PRINTER TO

Thank everyone for your respond:

On other thing I forget to mention. Several of my reports are landscrape. I use the the following command:

SetOrientation("pdf printer",2)

I get the error "detail band is too large to fit"

When printing to a printer it ok. Is the above command the correct syntax? what else do I need to look at

Thanks
