Standalone Printing fails
Posted: Mon Dec 12, 2011 2:01 am
Hi
I have inherited a LiveCode project for further development that includes some functionality to Print/Generate a PDF file. This is a Windows desktop based application.
The original project was built using LiveCode version 4.5.3.
I am using LiveCode 5.
I have a problem where printing works fine in development mode, however when I generate a Standalone application it fails. If I try to generate a PDF then it results in a blank page. Printing does not send a job to the printer.
This is not the case in the original standalone that has been deployed - both PDF and printing works fine in that.
I have been unable to find anything in release notes or the forums that helps.
I am including the revpdfprinter.dll file in the Standalone build.
It seems to me that there is something about my build environment/process that is causing a problem. I have reached a dead end about what that might be though.
Is anyone able to provide any pointers as to what I might be missing here?
Thanks.
Jae
