Join and Convert Preview Files

The preview format can be used as the output format if, for example, multiple reports should be joined to one or if archiving the output in the form of a PDF is desired in addition to the direct output. The following example shows some options of the PreviewFile class.

// Open preview files, first file/coversheet with write access

PreviewFile cover = new PreviewFile(@"<Path>\frontpage.ll", false);

PreviewFile report = new PreviewFile(@"<Path>\report.ll", true);

 

// Append report to first file/coversheet

cover.Append(report);

 

// Print complete report

cover.Print();

 

// Convert report to PDF

cover.ConvertTo(@"<Path>\report.pdf");

 

// Release preview files

report.Dispose();

cover.Dispose();
