Automated name for NI-Report Print function

[Kobi_K]

Hi ,

I'm using NI-Report , while using the NIReport_Print function i notice that i always need to choose my file name.

I want to set a var lets say :

char reportFileName[256];

in the soft i will set reportFileName and i want the report to be saved automatically in some folder using this file name , can it be done using NI Report ?

i looked for a function to do so like we have in excel report but i couldn't find any...

Hi,

I think you are trying to print to a PDF printer.

In that case, it is the PDF Printer asking for the directory and filename to save the PDF file, not NI-Report.

NI-Report cannot save the report as a file by itself.

You need to find a PDF printer that has some kind of automation.

Personally I use BullZip PDF Printer that allows you to change the settings via command line parameters.

Hope this helps,
