Hi Everyone,

I created a job to save free text invoices to PDF using SRSPrintDestinationSettings in a specific folder.

This is working fine. but, the issue is that create new sub-directory with a duplicate pdf file into this new folder.

static void AAl_printFreeTextInvoice2(Args _args)
{
    SalesFormLetter                 salesFormLetter;
    SRSPrintDestinationSettings     settings;
    FreeTextInvoiceContract         freeTextInvoiceContract   = new FreeTextInvoiceContract();
    FreeTextInvoiceController       freeTextInvoiceController = new FreeTextInvoiceController();
    Args                            args = new Args();
    CustInvoiceJour                 CustInvoiceJour;
    ;

    select  CustInvoiceJour where  CustInvoiceJour.recid == 5637255489;
    args.record(CustInvoiceJour);
    args.parmEnumType(enumNum(PrintCopyOriginal));
    args.parmEnum(PrintCopyOriginal::Original);
    // Set the report data contract with parameters.
    freeTextInvoiceContract.parmCustInvoiceJourRecId(CustInvoiceJour.RecId);
    freeTextInvoiceContract.parmCountryRegionISOCode(SysCountryRegionCode::countryInfo());

    freeTextInvoiceController.parmArgs(args);
    freeTextInvoiceController.parmReportName(PrintMgmtDocType::construct(PrintMgmtDocumentType::SalesFreeTextInvoice).getDefaultReportFormat());
    freeTextInvoiceController.parmExecutionMode(SysOperationExecutionMode::Synchronous);
    freeTextInvoiceController.parmShowDialog(false);
    freeTextInvoiceController.parmReportContract().parmRdpContract(freeTextInvoiceContract);

    freeTextInvoiceController.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings().printMediumType(SRSPrintMediumType::File);
    freeTextInvoiceController.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings().fileFormat(SRSReportFileFormat::PDF);
    freeTextInvoiceController.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings().overwriteFile(true);
    freeTextInvoiceController.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings().fileName(@"C:\Users\xxx\Desktop\xxx\Tests\freeTextInvoice.pdf");

    settings = freeTextInvoiceController.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings();
    salesFormLetter = SalesFormLetter::construct(DocumentStatus::FreeTextInvoice);
    salesFormLetter.parmShowDialog(false);
    salesFormLetter.updatePrinterSettingsFormLetter(settings.pack());
    salesFormLetter.parmUseUserDefinedDestinations(true);

    args.caller(salesFormLetter);
    freeTextInvoiceController.parmArgs(args);
    freeTextInvoiceController.startOperation();
}

Hi Alex,

I suspect that it could be related to print management set up.

Could you try to disable print management by line below?

salesFormLetter.usePrintManagement(false);

Hi Alex,

For print management, the same print settings (that have the same file name specified) will be applied to multiple report execution like for account 1001, 1002, 1003. In this case, the file will be overwritten multiple times and the output from previous execution will be lost. Therefore, it will create a new directory and copy over the file to the new location to keep all the outputs. The new directory format will be like %UserId%-%ReportName%-%TempFileName%.

Please go to Classes\PrintMgmtReportRun and check the setPrintDestinationFileName method.

Also see the old thread:

dynamicsuser.net/.../saving-in-po-on-disk-in-pdf

And you can try Sergei's code.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your quick reply.

When i use this :  salesFormLetter.parmUseUserDefinedDestinations(false); it print report on the screen, it's not save as pdf on the specific path.

Yes, it create the new directory from the method  Classes\PrintMgmtReportRun > setPrintDestinationFileName(), I don't know what the impact of disactivating this code, i think this method is used from many report not only for freeTextInvoice

Is there another way to save this report to PDF without using the class SalesFormLetter to pack print management ? because the method classes\PrintMgmtReportRun > setPrintDestinationFileName() is called from the method  classes\SalesFormLetter > excute()

Thank you in advance

Hi Alex,

I would make several modifications to achieve the goal instead of deactivating code.

1. Add new parm member to class SrsPrintMgmtExecutionInfo and FreeTextInvoiceContract and fill new parameter in contract in job.

2. Modified FreeTextInvoiceController.preRunModifyContract to fill new parameter in SrsPrintMgmtExecutionInfo from FreeTextInvoiceContract.

3. Modify PrintMgmtReportRun.setPrintDestinationFileName to check new parameter from SrsPrintMgmtExecutionInfo and exit method before try-catch statement

4. Modify SRSReportRunPrinter.toFile method to check if new parameter from SrsPrintMgmtExecutionInfo and skip copy of a created file to an original file location
