A small clarification is obviously in order, because a couple of people have asked me when I’m “releasing” the SP2 version of PDFListener, to go with the changes I’ve made in RunReports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The answer is: there is nothing I need to release. The code in PDFListener.PRG looks like this:<\/p>\n

#DEFINE <\/span>FFC_HOME\u00a0ADDBS<\/span>(HOME<\/span>() + “FFC”)<\/p>\n

#DEFINE <\/span>PDFLISTENER_SUPERCLASSLIB\u00a0;
\nFFC_HOME + “_reportlistener.vcx”<\/p>\n

#DEFINE CLASS <\/span>PDFListener\u00a0<\/span>AS <\/span>utilityReportListener ;
\n<\/span>OF <\/span>PDFLISTENER_SUPERCLASSLIB<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

… If you re-compile PDFListener.PRG with an SP2 copy of _reportlistener.vcx, you get the SP2 improvements.<\/p>\n

The latest version of the PDFListener source is here: http:\/\/spacefold.com\/downloads<\/a>, but I haven\u2019t changed anything in that source zip except for adding a non-VFP 9 version of the facility (PDFClass.PRG), as I explained<\/a> when I posted the article (http:\/\/spacefold.com\/articles<\/a>).<\/p>\n

PDFClass\u00a0does not descend from any reportlistener class, and\u00a0it is the\u00a0code I used in earlier versions of FoxPro. In fact, I have\u00a0used similar code, all the way back to FoxPro DOS. (I think I refactored the code for OOP around VFP 5.)<\/p>\n

I have not made the equivalent changes in PDFClass.PRG to improve its exposure of page numbers because PDFClass does not even have a pages array. I suppose I could add one, but there isn’t much point. By definition, PDFClass doesn’t need to consider a report run with mixed old-style and new-style syntax, or chained reports.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
