Hi nimit,

The PDF Converter is available for use when the Save as PDF control is not present on a View/Form or the designer don't want to use the Save as PDF control. The Broker also allows added functionality as you can specify dynamic URL’s and/or HTML and you are not limited to taking a snapshot of what is currently reflected on the screen.

See link below:

Hope this helps

Hi julia

Hi nimit,

Please go to your SmartObject - Service - Tester tool, located in C:Program Files (x86)K2 blackpearlBin.

1. 
   
2. Under ServiceObject Explorer folder you will see PDF Converter ServiceInstance.
   
3. Right click on it and click Register ServiceInstance.
   
4. Then check if the PDF Converter is there in your Smartforms.
   
   

Kind Regards

Julia

Hi Nimit,

Hi nimit,

You have a good point there, i'm note sure if that is the issue but will try and investigate why the PDF Converter is not available in your trial machine.

Kind Regards

Hi Julia,

I'm using the trial machine now and are bumping into the same issue as several others, that the PDF Converter Service doesn't seem to exist in the environment.

Did you guys figure out why the PDF Converter Service is not available on the trial machine?

And more importantly, is there a documented way to get it installed?

Thanks
