After TeamDeveloper v5 you can use SalReportPrintToFile() which creates a PDF.

Otherwise you could install PDF995 ( free ) and call some of its many functions if you don't want to use Acrobat Writer ActiveX.

Unfortunately SalReportPrintToFile() in version 2.1 allows only rtf or csv ,, I tried to use pdfFactory and it creates pdf files automatically but the file name is the same name of the QRP file , Is there any way to change the qrp name while printing ? – BODYBOND May 14 '20 at 07:24
Either Copy or Rename the .qrp to what ever name you want before you print it. VisFileRename (sOldFileName, sNewFileName) or VisFileCopy (sSourceFile, sTargetFile) – Steve Leighton May 15 '20 at 21:00
