Posted by: jluis.roca@hotmail.com (JUAN ROCA) - Fri, 10 Oct 2008 04:03:58 EDT
Hi,
I have installed cups-pdt to send an informix 4gl report output to a pdf file.
It worked fine, except that when it comes the time to print graphical ascii
characters (non common characters), pdf does not recognize them at all.
has anybody encountered the same problem?
Any help in the matter would be very much appreciated.

Well, you install cups-pdf and it creates a virtual printer. You then
run something like
START REPORT foo TO PIPE "lp -dcups-pdf"
and that's that. I'm sure there is a manual in there somewhere.

latex (that then is converted to PDF). With this I did not changed a line in
the 4gl report and changed the way they looked.

Yes with PDFlib and perl you can insert and merge many formats.
PDFlib also supports the gui interface used by acrobat professional,
so the art/marketing department can design a report format template.
They place graphics and define test block placement, etc. Then with
the perl script I parse the text file from the 4gl program and place
it in the output blocks marketing defined.

I use 4gl to create an near xml text file.
I wrote a perl script that reads such a file and uses it to drive
PDFlib to generate PDF document.
I run this script from inside the 4GL program after I have closed the
report file. After the PDF file is generated I can use the same script
to deliver it where I want.
We have found this very powerful and robust.
PDFlib is a commercial software package from Germany.

I use 4gl to create an near xml text file.
I wrote a perl script that reads such a file and uses it to drive
PDFlib to generate PDF document.
I run this script from inside the 4GL program after I have closed the
report file. After the PDF file is generated I can use the same script
to deliver it where I want.
We have found this very powerful and robust.

Hi Juan,
You can do it in several ways:
1 - Use aubit 4gl : The reports can generate PDF directly and there is support
available.
2 - Convert the text file generated by your report to PDF : You can use
enscript, latex or even openoffice in server mode to do it. The conversion can
be made on a pipe or in the spooler.
3 - Generate the PDF in your 4gl report : It works but not productive.
4 - Give up from the 4gl report and create the report with a tool like jasper
reports. You just execute the report generation with a RUN command from 4gl.
Hope have helped

As The Clown suggested, check whether there is a more recent version
of SE with that limitation removed. Having said that, on large-file
capable Unix O/S, I believe SE 7.25.UCx has large file support. If
so, it appears that the equivalent change was not made on Windows. In
which case, you may have to request some assistance from Tech Support.

2GB sounds about right. That's per file/table.
If you have tables that large, you should consider IDS.
Even if you have to cook the table spaces. (you know what I mean)
