We have some cases where we want to print a PDF after another AX report, for example a drawing along with a production pick list. The drawing will have different print parameters (page size, orientation, paper tray) than the pick list, so I've added a container field "PrintDrawingSettings" to table ProdParmStartUp to store the packed printJobSettings (just like existing field ProdParmStartUp.SetupPickList).
My problem is that I'm not figuring out how to unpack the printJobSettings. I started with Palle Agermark's post as a basis for my class http://www.agermark.com/2008/01/print-pdf-files-from-ax-to-specific.html. When I instantiate the printJobSettings, the printJobSettings are set as "server: makes call to client printer". I'm not seeing how to unpack the packed PrintJobSettings stored in my new field.
I'm able to see the new packed field settings get passed to the class and it looks like I'm unpacking them. I'm not seeing how to assign the unpacked settings to the new instance of PrintJobSettings.
Any help would be most appreciated, Thanks!
