Summary:

Creating a new PDF document failed.

Cause:

  1. If under Client Server and you try to create a PDF file on the server.
  2. The PDF file is locked by a different program.

Remedy:

  1. PDF files must be created on the client side, and then copied up to the server. To do that, you put an "@:" on the front of the file name and specify a valid local directory for the creation. Then you follow up with an "execute copy" command to copy the file from the client to the server.
  1. close the other program and try again



 open #255: "name=PDF:, PrintFile=@:TempConvert\TimelogReport.pdf, replace, recl=500",display,output
 ! Print the report here
 Close #255:
 execute "copy @:TempConvert\TimelogReport.pdf Reports\TimeLogReport.pdf"

In this example, the "@:" causes the PDF file to be created on the client, in the clients Current Directory in a subdirectory called "TempConvert". In the copy command, the "@:" at the beginning tells BR to get the file from the Client computer, and the fact that there is no "@:" on the second parameter of the copy command tells BR that you're copying the file up to the server.
