We want to implement PDF reporting (through reporter) on a (WAN-)server. Therefor we can't afford any feedback, requiring direct (LAN-)connection.
How can the reporter output be written directly to a file?

I don't think Reporter offers the option of Print To File directly, nor does it create .PDF files (OIPI does do this). Obviously, you can define a printer which saves printed output to disk as a file under Windows, but it will be in the format of the Printer that it is based on.

As an add-on, I discovered a utility that works like a printer driver to create .PDF files. The link to it is http://pdf995.com/. This might work for you.

Don,
we are using java clients (JOI) and are firing up OEngines on the server to handle the requests for reports. The server has Distiller installed, so we just print to it.
Reporter is capable of handling most of our needs (especially bulk reports) - but… as I mentioned, we can't afford feedback messages, because they run on the server and the user will not become aware of it.
The only thing we need is a way to tell Reporter to execute (=print) directly without the prewiev option.

Fraid I can't help you there, then. I don't user Reporter anyway so … Sorry about that.

Just for the record:
The command line should read:
reporter /AP=PJG /UN=PJG /REP=1 /PR=1 /QU=1 /BA=1 /RP=TEMP_DEL2.RPT
(instead of the /PV=1 switch.)

I use the following and it works.
UTILITY("RUNWIN","REPORTER.EXE /UN=:@USERNAME:" /RE=1 /PR=1 /BA=1 /QU=1 /RP=HROI0001.RPT")
sends output to printer no preview or printer dialog box.

John,
thanks for your comment.
Our problem was basically that we used the /PV=1 instead of the /PR=1 switch.
