Print Front Panel to PDf file error

[RL]

Previous subject matter dealt with Acrobat Distiller for writing PDF files. I have used successfully, in other programs, pdfFactory but I get the following error message when using it with Labview 7.

"Labview:Print driver error.
Unable to print. Make sure you have installed and selected a default printer."

pdfFactory is selected as the default printer. I have also selected the LaserJet as default then selected pdfFactory for a specific file write but the same message is written to the screen.

This is a nice and easy way to write to a pdf format if it can be made to work.

Has anybody already solved this problem on the XP operating system?

Hi

While this may not answer your question, check Jack Hamilton web site at:

Lab-Useful: LabVIEW& Tips, Tricks and Downloads

He has a Print to PDF.llb that: "Allows you to programmatically control the destination and filename for PDF printing in LabVIEW. You must use the report functions to print and have Adobe Acrobat writer installed on the machine - PDF writer does NOT need to be the default printer"

Eventhough it was made for LabVIEW 6.1 and Tested on Windows 2000 Professional, you might be able to figure out what's not working on your system by looking at Jack llb.
