Printing to PDF

[Klaus]

I strongly advice to let you ANSWER what you are creating when encoutering an error
and you have no clue what goes wrong!
...
put IT & "/" & field "ID" card 2 stack "Disty Report" & ".pdf" into target_file
ANSWER target_file
...
This way you can SEE what might go wrong.

In this case you tried to create a file in a folder that did not exist.
"/" will always indicate a folder before that character!

Understood thanks Klaus. It appears that I learn in a very messy way.

The only issue I am having now is when my cards print to PDF, the PDF file is too big. When i print to PDF in development mode, the PDF file is around 8MB. When i build as a standalone the file is 2MB which is about right due to the images and content.

However, I use a splash screen which downloads the application stack from the internet every time one of my customers logs in and when printing to PDF, the file is too big at 8MB again. It appears that when in development and when downloading stack from the internet it is taking into consideration the images and content in the cards that are hidden. But when I print to PDF from a standalone version the file is correct at 2MB.

Any ideads as to what I can do here?

Thanks

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

sorry, I did not work with print to PDF (yet). Maybe others can chime in here?
But this does not seem to be not correct behavior.
