Re: Printing to PDF (again)

Have you checked Rob Laveaux’s plugins at pluggers.nl ? Those are x-platform and might do the trick. What you want cannot be achieved with any print to pdf solution. You need a plugin that helps create, or manipulate, pdf documents. I’ve Myako also has something on the area,

Re: Best scripting language to use with LEP

Hi Pat, I believe that PowerShell is included in all versions of Windows: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/install/installing-windows-powershell?view=powershell-6 And I see that there is a version for MacOS too, but will need to be installed: https://docs.microsoft.com/en

Best scripting language to use with LEP

I'm looking into getting some custom scripts created to solve my output-to-PDF problems. Mac I think I can do what's needed with AppleScript. Windows Any suggestions as to which language would be best? PERL? Java? We need to be able to run the script via LEP. We would pass a .docx file pathname

RE: Creating Word docs in 4D

I found another solution, pending some testing. (This is in a Windows environment, btw.) Print the Write Pro document to a PDF file (in my case, using Microsoft Print to PDF), then use a command-line utility that converts PDFs to Word, like Total PDF Converter from coolutils.com. This app costs

Auto Updating 4D Not Working

I’m having trouble with one particular app auto updating. When it should be quitting, it just hangs forever. 4D v17.1HF1, macOS only. (It works fine on Windows). I’m using essentially the same code as in several other applications, also on v17.1HF1, but this is the only application that doesn’t

Creating Word docs in 4D

As of August 2018, Write Pro could not export to a Word doc. Has that changed? I have a 4D v15 application that uses 4D Write pre-defined templates that contain home-grown embedded variables, and the code uses the WR Replace command to substitute data for these variables. Then the Write docs are

Re: Code signing works on one app but fails on another

RE: Error connecting to 4D Server - SOLVED

Its easy to turn off. Control Panel - Windows Update - Change Settings - Select "Download but choose to install" Then when you check you can see which ones to install. If Win server is only running 4D then no need to auto install updates. Fire wall should block any issues. Paul -- Sent from: ht
