Huston, I have a problem. It is about publisher, web-application and printing
the result document. I have a publisher file which I fill with data from a DB
using PIA. Everything goes smoothly on the server side. But how can I present
the result for the client. At first I thought to save the file as a picture
as it is possible in the application and then present the picture to the
client in IE. But unfortunately I can’t do it through PIA as SaveAs takes
only publisher or text as PbFileFormat.

Is it any other way to do it so that client doesn’t have to have publisher?

Which version of Publisher are you using server-side?

Publisher 2003 is running on the server and the object libraries for Office
and Publisher are 11.0.

Thank You in advance.

SaveAsPicture is a method of the Page object, as only one page can be stored
in one image.

Syntax:
   Document.Pages(x).SaveAsPicture("FileName")

Alternatively, if your clients wanted higher resolution, lower download
sizes, and an easy print option, you could use a server-side PDF component,
print the Publisher file to a PDF file, and present that to the user.

Thank You. That helps.

I thought about PDF as well. Can You recomend something that doesn't cost to
much?

I humbly apologise for insulting all the Houston community. :-)
