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 Get ReadString of hoRegistry "PdfPath" to sExeFile End Send CloseKey of hoRegistry End Send Destroy of hoRegistry Function_Return sExeFile End_Function
