   PDF filename control within Paradox 9   
   28 Jun 08 15:56:31   
   
   From: edhall@ihug.co.nz   
      
   Had a little search but didn't find the answer.   
      
   I have a system running in paradox 9 which we print from often, including   
   invoices.   
      
   In attempt to be more efficient (and maybe save the planet) we want to print   
   'lots of invoices' to pdf from within our database application. To be   
   effective, we want to control the pdf name from within Paradox. For example,   
   if we print an invoice we want the unique invoice number from within paradox   
   to be the pdf name (e.g INV0001.pdf, INV0002.pdf, etc).   
      
   Key system info is Paradox 9 running on WinXP, no central print server.   
   We are about to try Adobe Acrobat, but are happy to use anything   
   recommended.   
      
   Any help?   
      
   (Another question, we could upgrade to a new Paradox version if this would   
   solve it. Would it?).   
      
   Please treat me as an idiot when replying (Maybe I should have said   
   'non-Paradox expert', but I guess this is a similar meaning)   
      
   Thanks team,   
   Ed.
