Hello all,
I have been trying to figure out what is required to save a datawindow to a .pdf file w/PB 9.0.1 and have not been able to do so successfully. I read in the PB online documention that GNU Ghostscript and some printer drivers need to be installed in the path of the application, but can't find the GNU files. The documentation notes that there should be a folder under \Sybase\Shared\PowerBuilder\gs7.05, but I don't have the gs7.05 folder. The PB9Readme.txt file on the PB Installation CD mentions that EasySoap++ (easysoap.dll) and pbsoapclient90.dll are included, but I can't find any files for GNU in the specified folder.
I attempted to place the pbsoapclient90.dll in the same directory as my application's other PB runtime dlls and also put the easysoap.dll in the application's path subdirectory \gs7.05 along with printer driver files from \Sybase\Shared\PowerBuilder\drivers in the application's path subdirectory \drivers, but no file is saved. With these files it appears that some processing is occuring because after the datawindow function SaveAs() is called an hour glass mouse pointer appears for about 10 secords, but I can't find the saved file. Without the easysoap.dll, pbsoapclient90.dll, and printer drivers placed in the application's path and subdirectories the application just blips the hourglass pointer and then returns to the normal mouse pointer. The application is a PFC based application. PB version is 9.0.1 Enterprise Build 7066 running on Windows 2000 Professional.
The application does not display any errors nor does it crash, but it never saves the .pdf file. Save as other file types works properly (Excel, html, xml, etc.).
Any advice appreciated.
