I have a problem with export DataWindow content to PDF on W98 systems.
(I don't have any problem with PDF export on other systems like as WINNT,
W2K, WXP).

I found out that the problem is in the Sybase DataWindow PS printer. It
looks
like installed but it DOESN'T WORK on W98. When I try print something
on this printer then no PostScript file is created.
So I tried manual installation of it but it occurs an error during manual
installation
(I used description of instalation from Bruce Armstrong). The error said
that
printer driver (PSCRIPT.DLL) can't be loaded.

I used printer driver for PB 9.0.2 7509 with PSCRIPT.DLL version 4.00 (file
version 0.2.0.0)
from 14.2.2003.

It seems that printer driver doesn't work on W98. Do you have any idea how
to solve this problem ?

Thank you
Ludek

The description of manual instalation of  Sybase DataWindow PS printer from
Bruce Armstrong:
1.   Open up your Printers folder.
2.   Select Add Printer
3.   Hit Next in that dialog.
4.  Select "Local Printer" and hit Next.
5.  For "Use the following port", select "File:" and hit Next.
6.  Hit "Have Disk"
7.  Browse to the \Sybase\Shared\PowerBuilder\drivers directory and select
the ADIST5.INF file, then hit Open.
8.  Hit OK to close the Install from Disk dialog
9.  Select "Acrobat Distiller" and hit Next.
10.  It may prompt you to keep existing driver, your choice, hit Next.
11.  For Printer Name, enter "Sybase DataWindow PS".  Or you can enter
something else, and then add that printer name to the DataWindow print
specs.  Hit Next.
12.  On printer sharing, hit Next.
13.  Decide whether or not you want a test page, and then hit Next.
14.  Hit Finish.

That driver may not support Windows 98.  You might try the Adobe
driver (which I recommend instead anyway).

Note that there is a different version of it that supports Win95/Win98
than the other versions of Windows.

It works !

I tried another Adobe driver with PPD file from Sybase DataWindow PS and it
works
perfectly.
