Hello

this is my problem :

When I generate a PDF for an invoice, I need to add at the end of the pdf , one page : "Terms of Sales of the company" wich is stored as an image  and needs to be part of the final PDF file

So I would like to print this after the last page of the invoice.I did a break frame with an image field .But Uniface adds the header of my form which I dont want for this last page.Is there a way to do this?

Hi Dominique,

I solved a similar issue a couple of (many!) years ago using a PDF utility to concatenate two PDF:
the dynamic one just generated from the application plus a static one saved in an application parameter.
If I remember well the PDF utility used was named PDFTK.

Hope it helps.

Hello Dominique,

you can do this with gostscript at command line :

gswin64c.exe -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dAutoRotatePages=/none -sOutputFile=result.pdf file1.pdf file2.pdf

Hello Dominique,

You don't have to buy a license if you use this software as is.
AGPLv3 license is sufficient https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.en.html.
A call spawn# statement from uniface do the job.

Only in the case you need a modified version of this software,  you need a commercial license.

Haven't trided this - but -

Since this is at the of the report - when you get the -8 (end of hitlist)

on your outermost entitiy -

do the print_break for the image, but - in the header frame -

if ($status = -8)
  return -1 ; this should prevent the header frame from being printed....  hopefully
endif

Hope this works.

Knut
