File Associations

[nielmd]

Hi,
I'm using RoboTask running as a service on a Windows 2012 server, using a service account for running the service.

I have a problem printing files. I get this error :
I 25-04-2017 11:19:43: Printing file \\RMFILE0006.onerm.dk\beg10$\HAMAPOTK_BestilTilCYT\Azanta Danmark AS WDA Tilladelse.pdf
I 25-04-2017 11:19:43: Executing "5.Increment variable "FILECOUNT""
I 25-04-2017 11:19:43: Executing "6.Print {FILETOPRINT}"
E 25-04-2017 11:19:43: No application is associated with the specified file for this operation. (Azanta Danmark AS WDA Tilladelse.pdf)
E 25-04-2017 11:19:43: An error occurred. Step #6 (Print {FILETOPRINT}).

On the server running RoboTask, I have installed Foxit Reader, and has set the file association accordingly:

print error

2017-04-25 10_40_13-rmapps0613 - forbindelse til Fjernskrivebord.jpg (41.02 KiB) Viewed 12660 times

But still - I get the 'no appliication is Associated...' error.
Is it nessesary to define file associations specifically for RoboTask?

Thank you!

Niels

File association works for user sessions only
Service works in separate SYSTEM session

But you can print PDF document with Foxit Reader
use this command-line:
foxitreader.exe /p <pdf-file-name.pdf>

Learn more about Foxit Reader command-line options here:
