Notes document to a PDF using script

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Again a post to get a Lotus Notes doc into a pdf file using script. There has to be a way with all the new pdf printers available. I have the full blown ver of Adobe and docuprinter. Once I get a handle on the uidoc what object do I pass it to so Adobe or docuprinter can create the file on my local harddrive…

Right now I am using script to open the uidoc and “Call uidoc.Copy” it to word, but the formatting is off. When I do a manual pdf file it looks great so I need help to get it in to a pdf from LS. I spent a couple of weeks on thie forum and evaluated serveral tools but they require Notes 7…so now I’m asking all the great mind of the Notes world!!!

Subject: Notes document to a PFD using script

I have successfully used doPDF, http://www.dopdf.com, to send Notes documents to. doPDF installs as a printer and is really easy to use. The downside of course is that all users must install doPDF.

I’m sure there are other and better ways but this may be something to investigate.

Buy Integra4Notes, set up a scheduled task, let the server handle the 80,000 docs, done.

Once that job is done, you have an excellent tool that you can now use to move data out of Notes to Excel, Word, Symphony, or pull data in from Office apps into Notes.

Disclaimer: I don’t work for Integra and have no financial relationship with them other than being a happy customer.

You can also do some searching here and in the other Notes forums (this is an OLD question), do a bit of Googling, or check around for VBA that does what you want and adapt that to LS.

You may want to consider this tool:Lotus Notes Export to PDF: Converter for Notes - SWING Software

It includes both a LotusScript API and a toolbar add-on (if you prefer to install it out of the box). Take a look at these screencasts:

You don’t need to install a printer driver or any DLL.

In addition, you can export documents either to separate files (using field-to-filename rules) or to PDF packages (searchable compact PDF archives).

If you wonder how this tool/API compares with other PDF solutions:

Subject: Notes document to a PDF using lotus script for 80,000 documents

I have 80,000 docs to do so I need a lotus script solution, not a PDF printer. I have researched the forum and it looks like there are a lot of posts dealling with this topic, but no solutions. I have reviewed over a dozen tools that are currently being sold but I have not gotten any of them to work with the attachments. Has anyone used adobe successfully?
