Where printed output is saved

Printed output is saved to files in the applicationName_root\Print\Session\SessionID directory under the virtual root for IIS Web sites, or in the applicationName_root\Print\User\UserName directory if the current application user is logged in with a permanent user account profile. The applicationName_root\Print\Session and the applicationName_root\Print\User directories are created when you deploy your application. The SessionID or UserName directory is created by the ASP.NET runtime engine after a PrintOpen call.

The SessionID directory created under the Print\Session directory uses the same session ID number as the subdirectory created under the applicationName_root\File\Session directory when the user saves a DataWindow as a PDF or writes to a file from the current application session, or when the PBWebFileProcessMode global property has been set to Copy mode. The actual SessionID directory name is a long 24-character string with letters and numbers such as cdxgel554rkxxsbn1221uh55. Unless the user creating the printed files has logged in as a permanent user, the SessionID directories are deleted when the Web Forms session is ended.
