The GhostScript for 32 BIT and GhostScript for 64 BIT have been installed onto the client's JAS folder.

The user must then download the proper ghostscript on their machine based on the BIT that they have.

For example, if JAS is located in M:\JAS, there should be two programs; one called "gs910w64" and the other called "gs910w32".

The user must ensure they have the following programs from the drive where their JAS is located:(jonar support staff can be asked to verify this for you.

• JonarPDF4.exe (replaces Acrobat8.exe)

• CMD12.exe

• createlink

• RUNANY2.exe

• processpdf.exe

• updatenetworkfile.prg

• Click on the Windows start menu. Type in cmd.

• Select cmd.exe

A black screen will display.

Type in the letter which represents which drive JAS is located under.

In this example, JAS is located in the m: drive

Most users have JAS under J:

A list of all the transactions that were converted into a PDF format will display (previewed or e-mailed using the customized automatic e-mail option).

Under the column "Mailcomm";

If a capital M for "Memo" is listed, this means that it was an e-mailed transaction.

If a lowercase m for "memo" is listed, this means that it was a PDF that was printed to screen.

* Note: if there is no delete button in the screen, the user has the old version of Show PDF, and the new version of the program will need to be sent.

There are 6 steps that the programs must complete.

The details of what each step must do, is briefly explained on the right hand side of the screen.

The steps should list a "T" for True.

If it lists "F" for False, the transaction did not e-mail properly.

Under the column "Launch",

'F' will be listed if it was an e-mailed transaction

'T' will be listed if it was an e-mailed transaction.

The user can view who e-mailed a transaction and who it was e-mailed to. This can be viewed below in the 'Mail to:' section.

The user can also select "View PDF" to view the PDF document that was e-mailed.

Another way to confirm that the transaction has been e-mailed or converted into a PDF format is by checking the information under the "Res" column.

If there is a "T" under the "Res" and the "Finish" columns, that specific transaction shows that the results of e-mailing or conversion to PDF was successful.

If there is an "F", it means it was not successful in either converting it to a PDF file nor in e-mailing it out. 

The "Ret" (Retry) column reveals how many times the program attempted to retry e-mailing the transaction. The program tries up to a maximum of 6 times to e-mail the transaction.

If the program failed to e-mail the transaction, the user can view the error.

Click on the line which has the failed e-mail transaction under the "Mailerr' column. The error message will display.

To relaunch the program to e-mail or convert the transaction into a PDF format:

Find the transaction where there is an "F" in any one or more steps (there are 6 steps in all) that have an "F" under it.

If the failed transaction was to be previewed as a PDF format change the "F" value to a "T" in all of the columns that have an "F".

If the transaction that failed was one that was supposed to be e-mailed out,change all the values to a "T" EXCEPT the one under the "Launch" column. This column is confirmation that it was successfully launched (converted for previewing) in a pdf format.

Once each step that has an "F" has been changed to a "T", the transaction will be converted into a PDF format or e-mailed.

Only the first failed transaction has to be changed to a "T" for each column. All of the other transactions will automatically be converted into a PDF format or e-mailed.

If the transaction was supposed to be one that was for e-mailing, the user also has to change the "F" to a "T" under the "Finish" column.

If the user wants to retry e-mailing a transaction without replacing the "F" to  a "T" under column 6 and the Finish columns, the user can also simply select the line with the e-mail transaction and then click on the "re-Que for eMail" button. The program will re-send the transaction by e-mail.

Users can view the Date & Time of when a transaction has been printed to a PDF format or when it has been e-mailed. The details are located per transaction under the Timestamp column.

To delete a transaction, the user must click the line of the transaction to be deleted.

There are 2 options to select for deletion:

Select Delete Que entry only- If the user wishes to delete the transaction only from this table.

Select Delete related documents and entries - The transaction will be deleted from this table and the PDF file that was saved in the c:\documents folder will also be deleted.

Click the "Delete" button once the proper selection has been chosen.
