printing htmlviewer in MacOSX

[Wade Maxfield <wmaxfield@gmail.com>]

  I am also trying to print the htmlviewer content in realbasic.  2009R2

 I have this code, thanks to Shawn Giese, software.sirkevi.com, and it
mostly works:

dim filestring as string
dim f, f1,f2 as folderitem
dim execString as String

 f = GetFolderItem("PointerToHTMLFile.html")
  f1 = SpecialFolder.Documents
    filestring = f1.ShellPath+"/cwoutput.pdf"

    if f <> nil and f1 <> nil then
      execString = "/System/Library/Printers/Libraries/convert -f "+
f.ShellPath +" -o " + filestring
      s.execute execString
  // added hoping would fix launch
      execString = "chmod a+rwx "+filestring
      s.Execute execString
//
      f2 = GetFolderItem(filestring)
      if f2 = Nil then Return
      f2.launch
    end if

  The problem is that f2.launch fails to launch the pdf file.  It is there.
If I Right-click and choose open in Finder, it launches in preview as
expected.  The "chmod" was added to see if the executable bits were needed,
then I gave it universal privs to see if any difference was made.

  Anyone know why f2.launch() fails? I'm f.launch() -ing a pre-made pdf file
in another part of the program, and that works.
  BTW, the convert --help shows that the default is "application/pdf" for
the created file, using "-j application/pdf" does not help this problem (It
was in there first).
