Hi there, my name is Ruud and I'm new to this community.

I've been a AcuCobol developer for over 25 years now and I trying to start using version 10 at the moment.

Does anyone manage to print a bitmap with the new -P PDF option?

It seems to me that the WIN$PRINTER-routine is ignored.

Using -P PDF you will not be able to print a bitmap. In the upcoming Version 10.2, there will be a C$PDF routine which will allow you to add bitmaps and other PDF features (i.e. signatures) to your PDF.

Thank you Sherpe, seems that I have to wait for Version 10.2 then. Dou you have any idea when 10.2 will be released?
