Good morning all.

I need to know if a report is been printed as pdf, because in that case, the number of copies to print, instead of printing as many as there are in the customer record especified, only print 1.

Thank you ever so much

If you only need to reset the value in request page then you could add another option in there called "Print to PDF" (boolean) and in the onvalidate trigger the number of copies to be not enabled and reset to 1.

Not out-of-the-box.

This is an old-fashioned way (back to 80's) to track printing actions for specific document.

Modern ERPs are all able to generate PDFs and E-invoices that might be printed N times.

Unless you want to track toner consumption, the value produced by the number of copies printed is slightly meaningless in modern ERPs

Thank you Binesh Kumar Singh, but the question was not that.

I need to know in development time wether a report is being printed as pdf or not so I can change the number of copies to be printed.

Any way, thank you for your time.
