Hi,

I have overridden the outputReport method of the CustAccountStatementExtController class to alternate custom print settings based on a status flag relevant to the customer account being processed.

My code is fine and works however I have a query, the code will switch the controller to output a certain customer's statement to PDF file and then back to a selected printer, on the write to PDF, it is creating the file inside a temporary folder first and then writing the file again out to the specified filepath which is stipulated in the SRSPrintDestinationSettings fileName method.

This then creates a raft of temporary folders for each customer being processed.

Is there any better way I can prevent the temporary folder and first PDF being output and only have it output to the fileName/path specified in the print destination settings?

Thanks

You can modify framework to delete files straight after that, but it is easier just to cleanup temp folder periodically without any AX customizations.
