what advantages does PDFDocument.ImportDataWindow(dw) provide over using the datawindow saveas?

I see this is a new feature of the pdfdocument, but i am wondering why this was added since we already have the saveas(pdf) with the various export.pdf options in it.

Can't connect to SVN repo from PB2017R3 using svn:...
Export report with groups using saveas xlxs

Hi Mike S,

 

Thanks for reporting the issue.

what advantages does PDFDocument.ImportDataWindow(dw) provide over using the datawindow saveas?

Answer: The advantages are less user-written code (including pdf file names) and easier concept understanding. The inside of PDFDocument.ImportDataWindow() also uses datawindow.saveas (pdf).

 

Best Regards,

Peter
