Thanks,

Rick

Hi Rick

I never use the designbais option in order to generate pdf's, I prefer to handle all the pdfs reports using Basic programming

Just generate an html output ( it needs css knlowledge ) and then with a OS procedure call Execute an script and i use a princeXML to convert the HTML to PDF .

https://www.princexml.com/

Hope it helps.

Hi Rick

Could you use a DBWORK output field and populate it with <embed src="urlForMy.pdf" /> ?

Hi Marcello,

I think Rick want to display a pdf, not create one.

[David Knight]

I think Martyn's suggestion would work, or is very close to a solution.

In essence I bevel you have to push out an iframe into which you would show the url of the pdf. Of course, that requires the browser to be able to display a pdf; and I suspect some browsers would rather display it the way IT wants; not neatly I'm guessing the way you want. Presumably neatly in a box of some form?

Otherwise you need somekind of pdf display solution you control at your end. I've not heard of one that would do that.

Sorry.
