Say you have a cwebHTMLEdit and you want to print the HTML result to a PDF file with a fixed name and destination.
You can do it via: "wkhtmltopdf" (WebKit HTML to PDF)
You can find the tool on this page: https://wkhtmltopdf.org/index.html
Following is a DataFlex function that returns the full path for the exe-file (once it has been installed on the machine).
// Return full path to "wkhtmltopdf.exe"
Function HtmlToPdfExeFile Returns String
Integer hoRegistry
Boolean bFound
String sExeFile sKey
Get Create (RefClass(cRegistry)) to hoRegistry
Set phRootKey of hoRegistry to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Set pfAccessRights of hoRegistry to (Key_Read ior wkKEY_WOW64_64KEY)
Get OpenKey of hoRegistry "SOFTWARE\wkhtmltopdf" to bFound
If (bFound) Begin
If (ValueExists(hoRegistry,"PdfPath")) Begin
