RE: Pdf output

edited May 2011 in Devices
Hi,

I allow users to output to PDF file. Does anyone have the code that will
automatically fire up acrobat reader with the saved pdf file?

Thanks,
Peter Tan

    Hi Peter,

    You can set the Report.PDFSettings.OpenPDFFile property to automatically
    open a PDF file once it has been created. See the source for how this
    is done.

    Hi,
    after you have printed report you can open pdf file with shellexecute
    command:

    shellexecute(application.handle, pchar('open'), pchar(filename),
    pchar(user) or '', nil, SW_SHOWNORMAL);
