The Automated PDF Schedule Generator (APSG) is a separate program that automatically 'prints' specified scan (graphical) and text schedules as pdf's to a specified location. It is an easy way to make schedules available on a web server for non-ResSched users or the general public. The APSG is only available with the Corporate Edition and can be used in both the Wide Area and Local versions.
For its control windows and PDF file names, the APSG uses ResSched terms (Booking, Resource, Client, Category) rather than the labels you may have entered in ResSched System Settings. Your labels are used in the PDF schedules themselves, however. The PDF file name is created from the Report Type, Entity and Period Repeat.
