Save PDF Report as...
Hi all,

Currently when I save a PDF report, it is saved as "WFServlet.pdf" (by default). Is there a way to save a PDF report as "ReportName.pdf" by default ?

Thanks.

How are you saving the report? By right click? or just run the report and save to server folder?

example:
  
FILEDEF SK DISK C:\Temp\SKPDF.PDF

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY
ON TABLE HOLD AS 'SK' FORMAT PDF
END

User is given choice to run the report as html / PDF / Excel / Active report. When user runs the report as PDF, he / she wants to save it on his / her computer. When they click on the save button (floppy disk icon), by default the report is saved as "WFServlet.pdf". Instead they want to save it as "XYZ.pdf" (by default).

XYZ = Report Name

Hi,
I agree with sayed, its working.
Use filedef command to save the output of your procedure and mention the path where it has to save.

try this example



FILEDEF XYZ DISK C:\ibi\apps\XYZ.PDF (APPEND
TABLE FILE EMPDATA
PRINT
MIDINITIAL
DIV
DEPT
SALARY
HEADING
""
FOOTING
""
WHERE DIV EQ '&DIV.(,,,,).DIV.';
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM OFF
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE HOLD AS 'XYZ' FORMAT PDF
-*ON TABLE SAVE AS 'XYZ'
END

Naak,

Sorry, I was not clear. I don't want to save the file at some place when the report is run. I want the ability to save the Report(using the save button [floppy disk icon]) as "Report Name.pdf" (by default) AFTER the report is run in PDF format.

Does this work outside of Active Report? Can you upload the focexec? I do not have Active report license to create a sample.

shravan,

Take a look at this. If you change the JS entries to look for .pdf instead of .xht, then rebuild the url as "/ibi_apps/ReportName.pdf?...", then change the filter-mapping to *.pdf, then you will get what you are asking for.
