Can't print barcodes on pdf from the 2nd file

Hi everyone,

i need to print a large amount of pdf files (100 or more) containing barcodes. I've got a class which calls the report many times inside a while loop, something like this:

PrintJobSettings              printJobSettings = new PrintJobSettings();
Args                                    args;

ReportRun                               reportRun;
Report                                  report;

while select custTable where ...

{

            args = new Args(ReportStr(MyReport));
            args.caller(this);

            //report parameters
            args.parm(custTable.AccountNum);

            reportRun = new ReportRun(args);

            report = reportRun.report();
            report.interactive(false);

            printJobSettings = reportRun.printJobSettings();
            printJobSettings.setTarget(PrintMedium::File);
            printJobSettings.format(PrintFormat::PDF_EMBED_FONTS);
            printJobSettings.fileName(path   custTable.AccountNum   '.pdf');

            printJobSettings.lockDestinationProperties(true);
             reportRun.run();

}

The issue is everything works fine for the first pdf file it prints, but from the 2nd file it starts to mess up the barcodes: it shows symbols and letters instead of the barcode image:

The right version (as in the first file it prints) should be:

To make it work I have wrote a job to print a single file and I launch it manually several times. This is the only way I found to make it work properly, but it's not a good solution.

Anyone experienced the same issue and have found some workaround to manage it?

Thank you in advance

regards

PrintJobSettings printJobSettings; Args args; ReportRun reportRun; Report report; while select custTable where ... { args = new Args(ReportStr(MyReport)); args.caller(this); //report parameters args.parm(custTable.AccountNum); reportRun = new ReportRun(args); report = reportRun.report(); report.interactive(false); printJobSettings = new PrintJobSettings(); printJobSettings = reportRun.printJobSettings(); printJobSettings.setTarget(PrintMedium::File); printJobSettings.format(PrintFormat::PDF_EMBED_FONTS); printJobSettings.fileName(path custTable.AccountNum '.pdf'); printJobSettings.lockDestinationProperties(true); reportRun.run(); }
