Web View - Won't open pdf viewr with variable in name

[rdd1963]

So I am trying to save a pdf of a webview and have it opened by the default pdf viewer on the computer. The following code does this:

cPDFfile = "invoice" + "55555fix" + ".pdf"
owv = Lianja.get("Form_View.form").webview
owv.print("","Portrait","PDF",cPDFfile)
showdocument(cPDFfile)

When I change 55555fix to a character variable, it still creates and saves the file, but no longer opens the pdf viewer.

cPDFfile = "invoice" + cEditinvno + ".pdf"
owv = Lianja.get("Form_View.form").webview
owv.print("","Portrait","PDF",cPDFfile)
showdocument(cPDFfile)

Anyone have an idea why?

Hi r,

the cEditInvo would have to have valid filename characters: what is it's value?

cEditinvno contains a string of numbers such as 43532. It does create a valid filename and you can open the pdf manually by clicking on the file, but it does not open it automatically like the first section of code.

probably has spaces in it.

You were correct, it was leading spaces, I did an alltrim() and that solved the problem. Thanks.
