Problems with AbsolutePageCount

edited August 2008 in General
?Environment: D2007 + RB10.08/10.09 + ADO & MSSQL 2005

I have a program?that prints invoices directly in Pdf.

To have them sent by a post service, I need to provide, for every
invoice, the exact number of pages.

I had this controlled by a client procedure that launched the Pdf
printout (a single Print for every invoice) *and* got AbsolutePageCount
to update the database.
All went well.

Next I moved the app to the server (Win2003 R2) and launched it via
terminal services.

The Pdf printout is the same, the timing is somewhat faster, but I end up
having *always* an AbsolutePageCount of 0.

I suspected the program was doing something out of synch, so I put on a
cycle, waiting for currReport.Printing to go False.

The program keep working on the client but I'm unable to get the page
count on the server.

Am I overlooking something important or obvious ?

TIA
