Greetings,

Just recently we helped a Partner with a similar issue.  Here is an excerpt of some sample code that will print a specific from setting to paperless.  Requires that Paperless Office be setup for forms in Sage 100.  I have not tested this for printing journals to paperless but I expect the logic would be similar for any paperless document.

taskID = oSS.nLookupTask("AR_StatementPrinting_UI")
retVal = oSS.nSetProgram(taskID)
Set oARStatement = oScript.NewObject("AR_StatementPrinting_rpt", oSS)
CurrentRptSetting = "TEST"  
retval = oARStatement.nSelectReportSetting(CurrentRptSetting)

'Set EmailSelected property to true
oARStatement.nEmailSelected = 1

Set oPaperless = oARStatement.ocoPLCommon
oPaperless.sFormPrintUISelection = "2"

' Set Email Engine EESilent property to true
oARStatement.oEmailEngineObj.nEESilent = 1

' Set Electronic Delivery.  Third argument is the email engine object handle for the from object. 
' Seventh argument is set to true to force no UI when processing
retval = oPaperless.nElectronicDelivery("",0,oARStatement.oEmailEngineObj,0, "","",1)

retVal = oARStatement.nProcessReport("PRINT")

Thank you,

Kent

Thanks so much for this example Kent.  I'll give it a try!

With Journal/Register tasks that are setup for Paperless Office, there shouldn't be too much required.

After the LookupTask() and SetProgram() instantiate the _UPD class of the task.  There is a property PDFSilent that you want to set to a value of 1 and then just do ProcessReport( "PRINT" ).  PDFSilent will bypass the prompt to PDF if that is setup and bypass the automatic display of the PDF when printing is completed.

Using A/R Sales Journal as an example:

taskID = oSS.nLookupTask( "AR_SalesJournal_UI" )

retVal = oSS.nSetProgram( taskID )

Set oUpdate = oScript.NewObject( "AR_SalesJournal_UPD", oSS )

oUpdate.PDFSilent = 1

retVal = oUpdate.nProcessReport( "PRINT" )

Thank you as well Steve!  Hoping to give this another go shortly.  Will reply with results.

HI Steve,

Thanks again for the example.  Unfortunately upon calling nProcessReport, the upd object is returning 'Unable to initialize PDF converter' (an error I'm all too familiar with).  I confirmed that my I'm able to generate the paperless PDF without issue for the same batch from the front end of Sage.  I was running my test using DCOM so thought maybe that had something to do with it, but that gave me the same result :(.  I'm going to perform every recommended resolution for this error from KB 35032 - but just wanted to see if you are aware of any other paperless office related configuration that is required in order to get this to work?  Thanks.

Hey Justin - There are a bunch of reasons for that "Unable to initialize PDF Converter" but if you get it to the point where it only continues to happen thru BOI / DCOM, then it could be you need to copy the [Paperless] section of \Launcher\Sota.ini to Home\Pvx.ini. At least that's been true for me.

Thanks for the input Alnoor.  Let me give it a shot.  EDIT - worked great, thanks!
