Save a Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 report to a PDF file (First Part)

The following code saves an Axapta report to a PDF file. This is the first article of 3. The next article will show how to save the file into a network share and pass a Sales Order dynamically, and the last part will be about attaching the PDF to an Outlook instance and create a dynamic subject. So, the titles of the three articles will be the same foe exception of the text in parenthesis.

In my case, I'm having a lot of problems saving the file to a network file and then to attach it to Outlook. The code below saves the report to a local palce in your computer.



static void Job10(Args _args)

{

   custConfirmJour     custInvoiceJour;

  SalesFormLetter     salesFormLetter = SalesFormLetter::construct(DocumentStatus::Confirmation,  false);

   PrintJobSettings    printJobSettings = new PrintJobSettings();

   Args                args = new Args();

   boolean             prompt = false;

   boolean             printIt = true;

   ;



    printJobSettings.setTarget(PrintMedium::File);

    printJobSettings.format(PrintFormat::PDF);

    printJobSettings.fileName(@'c:\temp\myfile2.pdf');

  

   salesFormLetter.updatePrinterSettingsFormLetter(printJobSettings.packPrintJobSettings());



   select firstOnly custInvoiceJour

       where custInvoiceJour.salesid == '18-062467';



   args.record(custInvoiceJour);

   args.caller(salesFormLetter);



   new MenuFunction(menuitemoutputstr(SalesConfirmation), MenuItemType::Output).run(args);



}

Mark All for Open Cust Trans and Open Vend Trans

We have situations where there are lots of open transactions that need to be settled against each other. This can be the case if auto settlement is turned off. One solution is to add a "Mark All" button to the custOpenTrans or vendOpenTrans forms. This button "checks" the mark checkbox on every line. The user can then uncheck several lines if needed and Update to settle the lines. The code below is an example of what we used on the open vendor transaction screen. The code is very similar on the AR side. One note: I used vendTable.AccountNum in the code below. That should be generalized to work with any buffer that is passed into the open trans form. void customMarkAll() { VendTransOpen localVendTransOpen; VendTrans localVendTrans; container conSum; int linesProcessed; ; //show wait cursor startLengthyOperation(); element.lock(); //remove all prior markings specOffsetVoucher.deleteSpe...
