Saving reports to PDF in Windows 7

Hi Gary

I think there is a work around for getting this working (I'm on vista 64bit and it’s a nightmare)!

All you need to do is

• Click add a new printer,
• Click add a local printer
• when it asks you for a port select use an existing port and use your FILE (Print to file Port)
• Select a HP LaserJet 4000 Series PS Printer
• Call the Printer Sybase Datawindow PS  (This has to be exactly like this!)
• Save the printer and set this as default
• Try saving a PDF from Tessitura and Bobs Your Uncle!

Thanks

Nick

Hi all,

I’m sure I have seen an answer to this but I can’t fine anything on the website. So I have a lovely new Windows 7 machine, problem is I’m getting the ‘disk is full’ error when I try to save a report to PDF. My old trick of installing an Apple driver can’t be done as that isn’t in the updated list.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Gary

I don't know if it work for Windows7 but this usually works on that error.

1. Download gs861w32.exe from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1897&package_id=108733;

2. Install on Windows XP

3. Archive the existing c:\pbvm\gs folder;

4. Delete the contents of the c:\pbvm\gs folder;

5. Copy the contents of c:\program files\gs to c:\pbvm\gs;

6. Rename the gs8.60 folder to "gs7.05"

7. Go into Control Panel/Printers;

8. Delete the Sybase Datawindow PS printer, if it exists (most likely it will not);

9. Right-click the printers window and click on Add Printer...

10. Click on Add Local Printer;

11. Select "Use an existing port", and change it to "FILE: (Print to File)", and click Next;

12. Click "Have Disk..." and enter "c:\pbvm\gs\gs7.05\lib" under "Copy manufacturer's files from:", and click OK;

13. Select "Ghostscript PDF" in the Printers list and click Next;

14. Enter "Sybase Datawindow PS" for the printer name; it does not need to be set as the default printer;

15. Click Finish when successful installation is indicated.
