Here’s a simple code example on how you can further automate your HCL Notes application to convert a specific document, which may contain a report, to a pdf. The use case may be to keep that pdf file as attachment or to send it along with an email. Here’s that short code:

	Dim workspace As New NotesUIWorkspace
	Dim uiDoc As New NotesUIDocument
	Dim filePath As String

	Set uidoc = workspace.CurrentDocument	
        Call uidoc.Print(1,1,,,"CutePDF Writer")

This piece of code selects “CutePDF Writer” printer. It opens up save as dialog box and the user just have to click save from that box to redirect this document to CutePDF Writer in order to save as a pdf file. Pretty simple, isn’t it?
