Hi all,

Requirement:

1. We will get a pdf file from web service.

2. This PDF file has to be sent to specific printer.

This task might seems similar to below blog which is for AX 2012. we are looking for D365FO

Why do you need AX then ? Just build app that receives files and print them to a printer.

we need to print in AX, after posting of sales packing slip(has dependency with packing slip posting). getting pdf file from web service will be taken care by other person.

Here our job is how to send this pdf file to printer.

I think we may ignore about web service since our requirement mainly how to send pdf file to printer. like in below link

This question had appeared here before. As far as I remember, the point is, you should use the regular document routing agent. Like, for a regular printing, so setup should be the same regular as well. Then from code, build your zebra commands into a str, like this;

DocumentContractFactory factory = DocumentContractFactory::Instance;

ZebraDocumentContract documentContract = factory.Create(DocumentContractType::Zebra);

documentContract.TargetType = TargetType::Printer;

documentContract.Settings = 'printer path';

documentContract.Name = "AXLabel";

documentContract.Contents = SerializationHelper::ConvertStringToByteArray(your str, System.Text.Encoding::ASCII);

SrsReportRunPrinter::sendDocumentContractToDocumentRouter(documentContract);

I'm not a huge fan of dealing with that this way and more prefer to use basic editing tools with no code https://ds11.pdffiller.com/ but this solution above is free and more relevant to you, I guess

we also need to send PDF label to Zebra printer. It seems objects/classes are not available what you mentioned DocumentContractFactory ,ZebraDocumentContract ..etc. in AX & getting error. Also the link https://ds11.pdffiller.com/ seems not relevant to us (related to passport).

Here we are discussing about "How to send pdf file to printer" in D365FO(AX7) through x++ , after configuring Document routing agent.

Highly appreciate if anyone could share their experience on this.

Thank you..
