compatability of labview applications with the adobe pdf printer software

[hari06213]

The labview application developed has used the adobe pdf printer software from the link https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=acrobat_pro&loc=en

The application is not able to print the data supplied.the problem is after the printreport.vi is executed it doesn't show the file save dialog of the pdf software,so the pdf software is not able to print.i have tested the pdf software with the browser and it is working normally.are there any compatability issues with the labview applications and the adobe pdf software.I've tested with basic print application apart from my application..please help..

Is this a compiled executable or a VI?  If compiled, do you have the source code?

Has it worked in the past? With a different printer or the pdf printer you are referring to?

Is it using the report generation toolkit or some other code?

Does the application just use the default printer or one with a specific name?

Has the default printer changed or the printer name changed?

Is there a pile of printed reports sitting at some other printer somewhere?

Attached is the sample code which i used for testing... and my application is an executable..which both are not able to print.

It uses the specific name of printer.I have verified the sample and my application with the ohter pdf softwares which they are working.

The printer name i've given in the sample code is been extracted from the vi which lists all the printers available for the current system.

It uses the basic report generation kit of labview 8.5.1.

Thank you

Does the adobe pdf printer work with other programs trying to print?

I'm not inclined to create an account with adobe and download 465MB of their trial software just to test this.

Maybe someone at Adobe can help you? If they want you to spend the $700 or so dollars to buy the software, they should be willing to give you support during the trial period.

When printing pdf files i've used the acrobat activeX object and printed it that way.
