Hi, After countless hours I finally got SL working on Windows server (Win XP + Apache2triad + all those DBD and DBI things), managed to set accounts and record all the activities of past months, when problems occurred where I least expected them - I'm unable to print or save in pdf-format any of the invoices. After several more hours of online search I have proTeXt installed and the pdf+postscript options show nicely in the appropriate pulldown menus, but no actual result - SL simply refreshes the screen as if it's done something or just gives a simple 'Error' message. Has anyone actually got it working under Windows and can suggest how to proceed? Would appreciate any help as I ran out of ideas myself. Best wishes, Kristjan Kaljund |

You can always just use Print to PDF not as elegant but works everytime

Hi Kristjan, I'd guess - but it's only a guess - that Ghostscript might be required. (Update: http://faculty.smu.edu/barr/latex/ seems to confirm this) Can you make a PDF using a simple test .tex file? I haven't used LaTeX on Windows, but the comp.text.tex newsgroup [1] is VERY helpful. The FGA (frequently given answer) there is "Can you recreate the problem in a minimal example and post it?" For example, one of my problems was in the past resolved by basing future revisions on the following tex markup: \documentclass[pdftex]{article} \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} \usepackage[pdftex]{geometry} \geometry{a4paper,landscape, nohead,nofoot, left=15mm,right=15mm,top=1cm,bottom=1cm} \usepackage{longtable} \begin{document} \thispagestyle{empty} \noindent ABC\hfill this XYZ\par \vfill\noindent ABC\hfill XYZ \end{document} Under Linux I would place this in a file called "test.tex" and run `latex test.tex`. This gives a foo.dvi output file, which I would convert to pdf using `dvipdf foo.dvi `. I'm not sure how you undertake this on Windows, but you need to convert a .tex file to PDF before you start chasing problems with LedgerSMB. Stroller.

Ghostscript in installed and following your instruction I managed to create a .pdf from the quoted .tex file, the only difference being that the command in my case is not 'dvipdf test.dvi, but 'dvipdfm test.dvi'. I guess I would need to change that somewhere in the SL configuration as well? I just don't know where - the sql-ledger.conf files just says: # if the server can't find gzip, latex, dvips or pdflatex, add the path $ENV{PATH} .= ":/usr/local/bin"; but running dvips or pdflatex from command line seems to work fine.

As an interim workaround should be able to just add the path and then make a copy of the dvipdfm.exe with the name that's expected, dvipdf.exe Thanks, Michael On Jan 6, 2008, at 8:17 AM, Kristjan Kaljund wrote: > 2008/1/6, Stroller <lin...@my...>: >> >> >> On 4 Jan 2008, at 21:45, Kristjan Kaljund wrote: >>> >>> ...

That didn't work, even using it from command line gives errors. I understand that dvipdf is no longer developed and replaced with dvipdfm or even dvipdfmx, which is the newest and recommended choice. Does anybody know which .pl files in SL directory have these commands? Maybe it would be sufficient to just edit the command there. Or is there anybody out there at all who has got printing and/or creating pdf working on Windows installation?

Still no luck. Seems to me SL uses commands 'dvips' for postscript and
'pdflatex' for pdf - both run fine from command line, but SL still gives the
'Error!' message. And since there are no logs in SL it's hard to tell where
the problem is. But since it runs from command line, I can't blame Latex,
seems to have something to do with SL after all. I'd install Linux, but
can't, since I need to run some Windows programs on the same machine as
well.
Any other ideas, anyone?

But are those executables locatable by SL at runtime? I.e. is the
executables' folder in the search path that SL "sees"?
Just for the heck of it, since you already know where they're
being called from, you could test this theory by hard-coding the full
path into the script where it calls to those executables and see if
it works.
Thanks,
Michael

Do a dual boot install, i have my windows machine that way, and reboot into
linux to do the finances.
Extra bonus: not accessible for kids / wife /others who do not know how to
boot linux ;-)

This is a good point, though a VMware image would probably be even
quicker and easier to set up and use...
