Smartforms without using PDF!

[former_member308877]

Hi All,

I am using Smartforms to print some barcodes based information. Instead of using Print Preview and then giving PDF!, Is there any other way to generate the pdf file just for printing it. I don't want to save the file as pdf in some location. I want just the functionality of PDF! to print the file.

Kindly help me in this regard,

Thanks in advance,

Jai.

Hello Jai,

In the print option, from where you select to see the print preview, tick the option print immediately. If you do not need the spool, you can select 'Delete after output' option.

If you want to make it through the driver program, then you can use OUTPUT_OPTIONS-TDIMMED and set its parameter to u2018Xu2019 while calling the function module of the smartforms. TDIMMED means print immediately.
