To explain my current method:
I currently ask an operator to choose save or print, or both, at the end of a program. Regardless of what he chooses, I save a temporary PDF file of the report anyways, so if he/she has ADD they can still go back and salvage the report. This temporary file gets deleted and rewritten every program run. Right now I use the included PC-DMIS PDF printer. This is causing me a headache because the **** thing takes upwards of 15 seconds to generate even a 1 page report, and PC-DMIS waits until it is done.
My question:
If I printed this to a bullzip printer or something similar, is there ANY way to do it automatically, so that the PDF printer did not display at all, or pop up any dialog boxes? Specify a filename to print to in the code, as I do now, and let it do its thing in the background? I'm looking for a faster solution that allows me to keep the temp report I have.
Thanks!
