Hi, Sorry if this has been answered before but I am struggling trying to get PDFCreator working with Qlik.
I found some code to create as a macro but when it gets to
I have installed the latest PDFCreator on the server (v 2.2.1) (but not yet used it) and created a new module as :
Option Explicit
Sub PrintReport()
'ActiveDocument.ClearAll
'Dim FieldName
'FieldName = "Country"
'Dim mySelections
'set mySelections = _
'ActiveDocument.Fields(FieldName).GetPossibleValues
'Dim i
'for i = 0 to mySelections.Count - 1
Dim FieldValue
'FieldValue = mySelections.Item(i).text
'ActiveDocument.Fields(FieldName).Select FieldValue
FieldValue = "201546"
Print_PDF FieldValue, "Op Report", "RP01"
'Next
End Sub
Sub Print_PDF(FieldValue, ReportName, ReportID)
' This is mostly reference code from the
' PDF Creator documentation
' Designed for early bind, set reference to PDFCreator
Dim pdfjob
Dim sPDFName
Dim sPDFPath
'/// Change the output file name here! ///
sPDFName = ReportName & " - " & FieldValue
sPDFPath = "D:\Qlikview"
Set pdfjob = CreateObject("PDFCreator.clsPDFCreator")
With pdfjob
If .cStart("/NoProcessingAtStartup") = False Then
If .cStart("/NoProcessingAtStartup", True) = _
False Then
Exit Sub
End if
.cVisible = True
End If
.cOption("UseAutosave") = 1
.cOption("UseAutosaveDirectory") = 1
.cOption("AutosaveDirectory") = sPDFPath
.cOption("AutosaveFilename") = sPDFName
.cOption("AutosaveFormat") = 0 ' 0 = PDF
.cClearCache
End With
' Print the QlikView Report
ActiveDocument.PrintReport ReportID, "PDFCreator"
' Wait until the print job has entered the print queue
Do Until pdfjob.cCountOfPrintjobs = 1
ActiveDocument.GetApplication.Sleep 20
' in VBScript use WScript.Sleep(20)
Loop
pdfjob.cPrinterStop = False
' Wait until PDF creator is finished
' then release the objects
Do Until pdfjob.cCountOfPrintjobs = 0
ActiveDocument.GetApplication.Sleep 20
Loop
pdfjob.cClose
Set pdfjob = Nothing
End Sub
Note that I have commented out some of the lines in the 'PrintReport' sub to simplify it to my needs.
This is attached to a button in a Qlik document but it didnt seem to do anything.
On going into properties and then editing the module and running 'test' fond where it was stopping.
It calls 'Print_PDF' but then I get
"ActiveX component can't create object: 'PDFCreator.clsPDFCreator'"
when it reaches
Set pdfjob = CreateObject("PDFCreator.clsPDFCreator")
I found someone else having a similar problem which apparently was fixed when he set System access on.
Unfortunately, I had already set this.
I have set Requested Module Security to 'System Access' and Current Local Security to 'Allow System Access'
The Document has been saved and re-opened but the same error persists.
Does anyone have any pointers? Is there another setting somewhere that I have missed?
Running Qlikview 11 SR11 64bit on a Windows Server 2012 R2 datacentre.
Thanks for reading.
Ian
