Need help fp & PrintWizard

[Richard Kreiss]

I know Bob responded, I have the same configuration as well as one if my clients. 

Instead of using pfpostprint, I set up some windows services to handle the PDF creation. The service looks at a directory and waits for an output to arrive, then creates the PDF. 

I have 2 directories that are watched as the pdf's once made are moved to a different location. 

This made it almost fool proof. 

Where I need specific file names created, I use Filepro processing to create the file and at @once do a system call with the printwiz command to create the PDF. 

One other way to approach this is create a batch file and use putenv() to set the file name and in the batch file %filename% to get the name and pass it to the printwiz command.
