Print to a file

[Jo Hobbit]

Hi,

why do you want to convert Oracle Report PCL output to PDF.
Oracle Reports can print to PCL and Postscript printers.

$ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/uiprint.txt:

 <printer name>:PCL:5:<description:ui4.hpd:
 <printer name>:PostScript:2:<description>:<printer.ppd>:

No change in the calling URL is necessary to generate a PS-output.

You can create a PDF-File by setting the parameter in the calling URL:

http://<report server>:<port>/reports/rwservlet/?<userid>&report=<report.rdf>&destype=file&desformat=pdf&desname=/tmp/test.pdf

If you want to create a PDF with the Oracle Report Server and start a Skript to convert, print or archive the file you can use the JAVA-Class PDFPrint (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/reports/pluginxchange/index.html)
