I have been playing with SaveAs PDF and have been having trouble. I have 
installed GS7.05, put it on my path etc.

Does the generic PS driver have to be specified as output printer? If so, 
how will I deploy this with my application?

Thanks.

PowerBuilder will create a printer Sybase DataWindow PS under the
covers the first time you do a SaveAs PDF.  This printer uses the
Adobe Distiller driver which is shipped with PowerBuilder in the
Shared/PowerBuilder/drivers directory.

The PDF file is being created but when I try to open I get an error 
"...Cannot be opened because the file contains no pages."

I am retrieving my report, the preview looks good, what gives?

There is a long discussion on this exact problem going on in the datawindow 
group - have a 'dekko'.

Check the properties of the Sybase DataWindow PS 'printer'.  On the
advanced tab, there is a Print Processors button.  Press that and in
the resulting dialog, ensure that WinPrint is the selected Print
Processor.
