PDF and strange files

rbuser

Hi,

Why is there always some strange files created in the same folder as
PDF-files are created? And is there a way to avoid those files to get
created?



Thanks,
Lars

Hi Lars,

Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? In an earlier version of the
PDF device (pre RB 10.x), each image was saved to a file before being
written to the PDF file. This was to save memory however it caused problems
with the Server edition of ReportBuilder so it was removed. The latest
version of ReportBuilder does not create any temporary files when exporting
to PDF.

Hi Nico,

I'm using version 10.03.

Thanks,
Lars.

just to be sure, which PDF device are you using? I assume Digital-Metaphors.

Actually, I've been using both Digital Methaphors and Walers and it seems
like both are producing those kinds of files.

Hi Lars,

What does your report consist of? Perhaps I can try to recreate this
behavior on my machine. I did a quick search again through the PDF device
code and still do not believe any temporary files are created during the
generation process. Are you able to see this behavior with a minimal
example?

If that is true, especially if the file names are similar, I would bet it is
something in your code because they are completely different drivers
