Par2: Create a PDF in Clarion
2000-07-20 -- Bob Campbell
 
You don't need a template (per se). Just print to the PDF Writer print driver. 
You can use the Property syntax as follows after the report is opened.
 
SETTARGET(Report)
Report{Prop:Text} = 'MyReport'
SETTARGET()

As you probably know, there are 4 descriptors inside a PDF document under 
"Document Information" general properties:
   Title 
   Subject
   Author
   Keywords
 
These can be filled in using a batch process and an Acrobat add-on tool such 
as Ambia's Compose tool. Go to 
 
https://secure.infodata.com/techFrame.htm
 
for more information. You can also put in bookmarks and links automatically, using 
Compose, if you design your reports with different fonts.
 
When I print reports (for archiving), I create a record in a TPS file that stores the
four
fields for each report, and then I run a batch program to fill in the Document
Information
on the reports.
