Imports data from a DataWindow object, a DataWindowChild object or a DataStore object to a PDF document.
For DataWindow objects
For DataWindowChild objects
For DataStore objects
Description
Imports data from a DataWindow object to a PDF document. All pages are added to the end of the PDF document. The PDF output is the same as you save data from a DataWindow object to a PDF document using PDFlib or GhostScript (depending on which one is set as the default method).
Applies to
PDFDocument object
Syntax
objectname.ImportDataWindow (DataWindow dw)
|
Argument |
Description |
|---|---|
|
objectname |
The name of the PDFDocument object in which you want to import data from a DataWindow object to a PDF document |
|
dw |
The DataWindow object whose data is imported to a PDF document |
Return value
Long.
Returns 1 if the function succeeds and a negative value if an error occurs. If the return value is -1, there is a high possibility that the function failed to export PDF. You need to check if the setting of parameters is correct.
1 -- Success
-1 -- General error
-3 -- Invalid PDFDocument object
-4 -- Invalid PDFPage object
-13 -- The index is out of range
-15 -- Invalid PDFImportContent object
-16 -- The start index is out of range
-17 -- Invalid index range
-19 -- Invalid file name
-22 -- Invalid password. The master password and the user password cannot be empty, and they cannot be the same.
-23 -- Invalid PDFDocumentProperties object
-24 -- Invalid handle of PDFlib
-25 -- An exception occurred while executing the PDFlib operation
-26 -- Failed to open the PDF document
-27 -- Failed to create the PDF document
-32 -- The PDF object does not exist
-33 -- The object already has its owner
-34 -- The ReadOnly object is not allowed to be modified
Examples
This statement imports all pages from the DataWindow object dw_1 and saves the contents to a PDF document called datawindow.pdf:
PDFDocument lpdf_doc long ll_return,ll_return1 lpdf_doc = Create PDFDocument ll_return = lpdf_doc.importdatawindow( dw_1) ll_return1 = lpdf_doc.save( "D:\datawindow.pdf") destroy lpdf_doc
This statement uses Modify to set the PDF standard, and then imports all pages from the DataWindow object dw_1 and saves the contents to a PDF document called datawindow1.pdf using PDFA_1A! standard:
PDFDocument lpdf_doc
long ll_return,ll_return1
lpdf_doc = Create PDFDocument
dw_1.Modify ("DataWindow.Export.PDF.Method = NativePDF! ")
dw_1.modify("DataWindow.Export.PDF.NativePDF.PDFStandard =1")
ll_return = lpdf_doc.importdatawindow( dw_1)
ll_return1 = lpdf_doc.save( "D:\datawindow1.pdf",PDFA_1A!)
destroy lpdf_doc
