Hi Herry;

  The easiest way with no programming is to:

1) Create your own PB.INI ( ie: Notepad )

2) Add the following to the INI ...

[Data Window]
; 1 = Use Native, 0 = GhostScript or XLSFO
NativePDF_Valid=1
; 1 = Embed fonts in PDF, 0 = Do not embed fonts in PDF
NativePDF_IncludeCustomFont=1

3) Deploy your PB.INI with your App's EXE

HTH

Regards ... Chris

After setting the INI file, I just do the following...

//Customorientation of 0 means use DW setting
dw_report.Modify("DataWindow.Export.PDF.Method = NativePDF! DataWindow.Export.PDF.NativePDF.UsePrintSpec = 'Yes'" &
+ " DataWindow.Export.PDF.NativePDF.customorientation='0' DataWindow.Export.PDF.NativePDF.ImageFormat = '1' " &
+ "DataWindow.Export.PDF.NativePDF.PDFStandard = '0'")

li_ret = dw_report.SaveAs("[NETWORK FOLDER GOES HERE]", PDF!, true)
