The file device has already been created

rbuser

I use Delphi 7, Report Builder 7.03, PsRBExportDevices 2.03

When I generate a report, the "ExportToPDF" procedure generate an error :
TppProducer.PrintToPrinter: The file device has already been created
This error has been triggering for a week whereas my report was always
generated without any problem before.

Has somebody got an idea on what can trigger this error?

Hi Anne,

ExportToPDF is a Pragnaan routine however it must make a call to
Report.Print, which in turn tries to create and assign the device before
printing. Be sure you are not manually creating a PDF device and assigning
its publisher to the report's.

Thanks.
I have never assigned any device, I just called ExportToPDF.
This error does not seem to trigger on all workstations but on certain
workstations only..

Hi Anne,

You might try contacting Pragnaan support to see if this is a known issue.
Have you considered using the built-in PDF device included with
ReportBuilder 9 or greater?
