OI 9.2 creating PDF files (OpenInsight 32-Bit)

What are the reasons that would cause the message:

"Not able to write PDF file"

I have a batch process that creates pdf files in a loop. If the process fails this way it kind of defeats the purpose of creating an unattended process. This particular file likely took longer than normal so I guess this beggs the question is there a timout butilt into OIPI? Using OIPI not .NET.

Ok I found the cause of the problem and it is not what I thought.

Using OIPI, start to create a pdf file by using the Set_printer "INIT". But instead of sendig data immediately issue a set_printer "TERM" message. OI will hang for about 30 seconds and display a message "Not able to write PDF file". So it looks like there is a "bug" somewhere if no actual data is sent. This should be fairly easy to workaround but in the long run should be fixed.

Thanks,

John
