Assuming that what you're looking for is printing via datawindow’s SaveAs command to PDF...

ll_rc = dw_report.saveas(ls_filename, PDF!, false)

...you'll need Ghostscript installed (available) in two locations:

  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Sybase\gs
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Sybase\Shared\PowerBuilder\gs

The second folder is for the PowerBuilder IDE.

I’m using Ghostscript version 8.7.1. It works fine with PowerBuilder 11/12/12.5 in both Win XP and Win 7 environments. Not sure about PB10.5 and more recent GS versions. The older Ghostscripts can be found here:

Hope this helps.
