Saving PiWeb standard and plot reporting in the same pdf

Recommended Posts

Hello guys,

Is there a posibility to save the standard and plot reporting in the same pdf but not printing the Plots?
At the moment i made it to save as diferent files for each and adding (1) and (2) at the end of the file name. But for our statistical software we need only one pdf and the file name have to match with the dfq file name.
If i make the standard protocol to save the plots too, i can not make it to not print the plots ( i don´t want to print 70 plots on each measurement).

Thanks.

Look at post "Variables to save".

If PDF-all is used, the two reports are merged into one file.

It could be necessary to install the open source "ghostscript" (see remark).

I have tried with ghostscript. I made the configuration like in the picture from the attachment but didn´t work. The result is like in the result picture from attachment (2 files,one for results and one for the plots). As you can see it saves the files in the standard directory and is not taking in the account the path that i made. Do i need to make other settings for the ghostscript?

I made it like that but the problem is that you dont´t have the option to print or not the plots. I have 70 plots on some measurements and i dont want to print them, but i have to save them in one pdf for the statistical software.
The plot template from the standard protocol didn´t work after unhide (it loaded and saved the page but without the plot) ,i had to import the template from the plot protocol and after that it worked.

Have two copies of the standard protocol, one with plots and one without. In multiple printouts, use the Output media for CNC run to set the one with plots to only display on screen and the one without plots to print. No ghost script needed.

That is o good way to make what i want but in this way the pdf file that is created is with nr (1) at the end (if there are 2 protocol templates the file saved will have the number at the end, it does´nt matter if i save only one of them).The problem is that the pdf and dfq file name have to match for the statistical software and adding the nr (1) at the end break this. Probably it can be done with pcm, but i think is to much to use pcm for something like this.

Try using the PDF file PiWeb Reporting instead of the ghost script. Then only set one report to output to pdf. I think the ghost script option is naming all the files with (1) or (2) to keep them separated.

I´m not using ghost script. Is the normal Piweb, but if i have 2 templates it always rename the file even if on one tamplate i disable everything.
