Re: PDF report preparation from 4gl reports

In Response To: Re: PDF report preparation from 4gl reports (Mike Aubury)

That's very neat. However, if you are not using Aubit4GL, you can create PCL
output and pipe it through GhostPCL which can be freely downloaded from:

http://www.artifex.com/downloads/

Another approach is to create XML and apply an XSLT to transform it into a Word
or PDF document. I recommend Altova Stylevision for this.

Aubit4GL can create PDF reports

(and Text, and CSV all from the same report - with only very minor
modifications ;-)

main

start report r1 to convertible
output to report r1 (1,2)
finish report r1

start report r1 to convertible
output to report r1 (1,2)
finish report r1 converting to "myfile1.pdf" AS "PDF" using "layout1"

start report r1 to convertible
output to report r1 (1,2)
finish report r1 converting to "myfile2.pdf" AS "PDF" # uses default layout

start report r1 to convertible
output to report r1 (1,2)

finish report r1 converting to many

# Special - for use with layout_engine

convert report r1 to "orig.output" AS "SAVE"

convert report r1 to "myfile3.pdf" AS "PDF" # uses default layout

convert report r1 to "myfile4.txt" AS "TXT" # uses default layout
free report r1

end main

report r1(a,b)
define a,b integer
format
on every row
print a," ",b
end report
