How can I make a pdf-file of the front panel?

Verena · ‎11-12-2003

I like to make a pdf-file of the front panel. Thus I need a vi, where I can input the printer name (as the pdf-printer is not the default one), the vi and the name of the future pdf-file.

Thanks, Verena

Try this article? (I found it by searching the developer zone for 'select printer')

Thanks for the information. However, I need also the possibility to predefine the name of the pdf-file. I don't like to have a pop-up menu where I've to write it in manually.

Verena,

Just a suggestion but have you considered looking into whether Adobe Acrobat contains an ActiveX control that you could include in your Vi?

Try this and if you were to search the forum with "pdf" as the search parameter, you'd find several postings on the same subject. One of them is here and another is here with some email addresses of individuals with existing toolkits.

Thanks, however I tried out the links and the problems are: I'm not allowed to change the registry and concerning the vi - the pdf-writer won't be the standard printer at the computers.
