Adobe PDF Converter error when sending report to PDF in Microsoft Dynamics GP

Just recently, I was working on a few Report Writer reports for a client and assisting with installing the latest Adobe Acrobat Standard version for them. After Adobe was installed, we decided to run a few tests to attempt to send some of the modified reports output via email using the Send To > Mail Recipient PDF option on the Report Output window.

Send To > Mail Recipient PDF
Upon choosing the Mail Recipient PDF option, we received the following error:

Adobe PDF Converter error

The error seems to come from the Adobe PDF Converter application which suggested that our PDF conversion process must rely on the system fonts and use document fonts. In addition, the message provided the path to address the issue as well, so we followed.

Initially, you must go to the Devices and Printers panel in Microsoft Windows, then right click on the Adobe PDF Converter printer and choose Printer Properties.

Once the Adobe PDF Converter Properties window opens, click on the Preferences button

The Preferences button will now open the Adobe PDF Converter Printing Preferences window, where the option referring to the specific error comes to surface:

Once the checkbox was unmarked, we were able to re-test our reports and everything worked just as intended.
If you ever run across this error, just know that the fix is very simple.

Until next post!

Hi Mariano -
We are having this same issue. The odd part is we have followed the instructions in the application, which match yours, and are still getting the same error even when the "rely on system fonts" selection is off/unchecked. We've verified the print settings, closed/reopened the application, etc. No luck. Of note, we do run GP through a Citrix server and not on a local install.

Any suggestions? Thanks for any help/ideas you can offer. We appreciate it!

Erin,

Chances are you need to set these on your Citrix server, since GP runs there. Open an administrative console on your Citrix server and change the Adobe settings there.

Why my transactions don't post through GL even when I have the flag selected?

Image
Are you tired of asking why is it that some transactions do post through GL and why some don't? Tired of changing the posting settings to no avail? This issue outta be one of the most confusing issues for users and consultants, new or seasoned alike. If you ever struggle with one issue in GP, please tell me it's this one, because even today, I cannot claim victory over this subject. So let's walk the walk together. What the theory says? According to Part 3, Chapter 13, page 87 of the Microsoft Dynamics GP's System Setup guide, " If you mark the Post Through General Ledger Files option, batches posted in other modules automatically will update the module in which the transactions originated and the appropriate posting accounts in General Ledger. Your transactions will post to General Ledger and not through General Ledger when posting transaction individually (without a batch). " Now lets break it down... It's important to really pay close attention to the t...

A .NET Framework error occurred during the execution of user-defined routine or aggregate "GetAssignedUsers"

So, I found myself helping a client to troubleshoot a workflow issue. After configuring workflow a few weeks aback and running a few tests without any issues, we applied Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 R2 January 2016 Hotfix. Now, when the client went to execute the workflow, he received the corresponding email indicating there was a purchase order to approve. He then proceeded to click the Approve hyperlink and the process continued as expected. After clicking the Approve button, the client receive the following error message: The server encountered an error processing the request. See server logs for more details The following shows the error as displayed on the client's screen. At this point, it is worth stating that the workflow ran to completion and the PO appeared completely approved and fine in Dynamics GP, so whatever was causing this error did not seem to interrupt the approval flow. As good troubleshooters, we went to the Event Viewer to check for addi...
