I am new to AX technology and I am trying to save a PDF copy of Free Text Invoice to a remote server using X++ but I have no idea where to start, which classes and tables to use. Please help me.

Thanks

    HI,

    if you are using AX 2009 you can find an example with salesinvoide (not freetextinvoice!) on my blog.

    translate.google.com/translate|en

    Basicly you have to use the class PrintJobSettings to control where you want to print the report to.

    You can use something like this to create a pdf from a report:

    printJobSettings = new PrintJobSettings(salesFormLetter.printerSettingsFormletter(

                                                              PrintSetupOriginalCopy::Original));

    printJobSettings.setTarget(PrintMedium::File);

    printJobSettings.format(PrintFormat::PDF);

    printJobSettings.fileName(@"C:\Test_Order.pdf");

    Because i currently haven't access to a AX System, i can't exactly say what code is needed to print the freetextinvoice to pdf, but this should be a good point to start.

    Hope this helps you solving this issue.

    Which version of are you using?

    There are some hotfixes available (i.e for Ax 2009) adressing some problems with pdf files.

    If never seen such a problem. So could you please check theses hot fixes?
