Thanks John, very helpful! And just adding to what John said, PDFDodcument object can manipulate any PDF files no matter it was generated by the NativePDF engine in PowerBuilder or generated outside of PowerBuilder.
There are no comments made yet.
So to clarify, we no longer need to install GHOSTSCRIPT on our PCs, when we are using the new PDFDocument object [using PB2022R3] to generate PDFs?
As currently, we have to install GHOSTSCRIPT on each PC image when generating PDF documents using PB2019R3, otherwise we get an error:
li_rtn = dw_print.saveas( ls_copydoc, PDF!, True )
if isnull(li_rtn) or li_rtn = -1 then
messagebox('Problem Saving',"There's an issue saving the document.~r~nTry saving again.")
return
end if

You don't need Ghostscript for PDFDocument feature.
But you still need Ghostscript for SaveAs to PDF if you use the Distill! method. You have to change this to NativePDF!. You can do this in each datawindow (in "Data Export" properties) or easier in "Additional Properties" of the application object for the whole application.
This also works in PB2019R3!
