Generating PDF file using new ACUCOBOL-GT enhancement

Hi,

I would like to print a pdf file using the new enhancement of ACUCOBOL-GT. In the documentation, it mentioned "

In the documentation, it mentioned, "Use the -P PDF filename syntax in your runtime configuration file to write output to a PDF file named filename".

Where can I find the runtime configuration file? And how exactly can I get it to generate pdf file?

Any help I can get is very appreciated. Thanks!

Here is a link to the documentation about the runtime configuration file and variables - http://bit.ly/2rnejlo

Here is a very simple program that creates a PDF file - http://simp.ly/p/rwLK5R

Hi MTurner,

I tried to run your program on my HP-UX server but it is unable to produce any pdf file. Nothing happened after running the program. Do you know the cause?

Below is the program I wrote based on the one you provide but it still cannot produce pdf file.

I ran your program here and it works fine so that's not the issue. It's possible that you don't have the correct permissions so the PDF can't be written to the directory.

I also tried this program on a Linux-server and I get a file-error 30:

30/32 for Linux is a broken pipe error. Have you tried the example Martin sent, compile and execute it in the acu bin directory? I tried all of your compile options on a Linux server with 10.1 and I was able to get the pdf created.

The program works fine now. Thank you so much for your help. Do you happen to know how to produce the output in a specific path?

Are you using a shared library runtime? If so, can you confirm that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is pointing to the 10.1 lib directory.

You should be able to use a specific path as long as permissions are correct. I was just trying to see if permissions on the /tmp directory were what was causing the issue.

I did a web search and found this: you may be missing a symbolic link from /bin to /usr/bin. Can you try ln -s /usr/bin /bin
and see if the error still occurs

Sorry to jump into your conversation but the error says there is no command "pdf" in /bin/sh and to my knowledge this is correct. Another idea: is the extension case-sensitive ?

we don't use a shared library. However we have made our own runtime by linking several C-programs and the COBOL-runtime into our own RUNTIME. And our own runtime is not in the same directory as the original runtime.

The 10.1.0 Runtime should only be relinked using the Makefile that is included in that installation (lib directory). PDF_LIB is a new entry in the 10.1.0 Makefile. You should take the new Makefile and modify that one to include your other libraries.

I think I found the problem. We are using version 10.0.1. instead of 10.1.0.

correction. We use 10.0.1 So I first must do an upgrade
