Archive File Not Opening

edited April 2003 in General
Hello,

I am having a PDF performance issue with Pragnaan's export tool (duration of
export). I have sent them a request for help on this. In order to analyze
the problem, they have asked me to send them environment settings, etc.

They have also asked for the ReportBuilder archive file (.RAF). I set the
report object up to produce an archive file, and the report ran and produced
an archive. I sent it to them, but Pragnaan says that they cannot open it?

Is there a way that I can determine if the archive file is good?


Thank you,

    > Please see the attached archive file.

    There does seem to be a problem with the RAF file. I get an AV from it. Try
    printing it an RAF again, and be sure to close your app before accessing the
    file. (I have used RAF streams quite extensively and never had a problem).

    To test an archive file, drop a TppArchiveReader and a TppViewer on a form,
    point the viewer to the archive reader, drop a button on the form and in the
    button's click event use the following code:

    ppArchiveReader1.Reset;
    ppArchiveReader1.ArchiveFileName := 'C:\Temp\secrty.raf';
    ppArchiveReader1.PrintToDevices;

    Enjoy.

    Yes, looks definately like a HP LaserJet 4000 Series PCL dump.

    Try printing it again.

    Hi Mike,


    the attached file isn't a RAF file, it looks like it was printed to file using the Laserjet 4000 printer driver.
