Confirm about operation completed

Dear friends,

I would like to use your GREAT PdfCreator to see/download Pdfs in a webpage. I use COM interface to create PDF file, but I have to set a 2 seconds wait before to download file because PdfCreator printer does not tell me when the PDF is ready:

 

m.PDFC  = CREATEOBJECT("PDFCreator.clsPDFCreator","pdfcreator")

m.PDFC.cStart("/NoProcessingAtStartup")

m.PDFC.cOption("UseAutosave") = 1

m.PDFC.cOption("UseAutosaveDirectory") = 1

m.PDFC.cOption("AutosaveFilename") = "test.pdf"

m.PDFC.cOption("AutosaveDirectory") = "c:\\temp\\"

m.PDFC.cClearCache

m.PDFC.cprinterstop=.F.

lcPDF="c:\\temp\\test.pdf"

 

... here I create PDF printing on PdfCreator printer...

... here wait 2 seconds...

Response.DownloadFile("c:\\temp\\test.pdf", "application/pdf", "PDFfile")

Please, is there any way to get from PdfCreator printer a confirm about operation completed? In this way I should not wait a generic (and unreliable) 2 seconds wait.

 

Thank you very much

Hello,

please have a look at the sample we provide in the PDFCreator install path under COM\\Windows Scripting Host\\VBScripts\\Convert2PDF.vbs

It uses the eReady event to get notified when the conversion is finished.

kind regards,
