Hello.

I have a report developed in Reports 6 (I know, it's time to move on, but the project is too big to migrate to another version; yet...). The parameter form has the parameter DESTYPE.
If I choose "File", the report is saved in the location I specified in DESNAME, as 'pdf'. When I try to open the file, I receive the message "Adobe Reader could not open file because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged, (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasnt correctly encoded) ". I find the file, but I can not open it.
If I choose "Screen", I preview the report, then, from the menu I choose "Generate to FILE... PDF", the file is saved and I can open it.

I've noticed something else. I did not use Report Parameter Form; I did a form who call the report; I choose in the form to save the report in a file and it works! I can open the file.

I suppose there is a parameter to set, but I don't know which one...

I mention that I have Adobe Reader 8.


Thank you for reading (and answering)!

Try to specify PDF with the DESFORMAT parameter.

YES!!!
That was the problem!

(Unfortunatelly, the default value for DESFORMAT is 'dflt'.)

Thank you very much!
