--------------------------------------------------- Tech Tip: Printing from the RB Web Report Viewer ---------------------------------------------------
The WebTier is designed so that you can easily add a 'Print' button to the web report viewer toolbar. The Print button enables the user to generate a PDF document that can be printed to their local printer.
ReportBuilder currently relies on third party solutions for PDF output. There are two solutions available:
a. Pragnaan - www.pragnaan.com b. Waler - www.waler.com
RB Server includes adapter classes to support the PDF solutions mentioned above. To add a 'Print' button to the web report viewer you include one of the following units in the 'uses' clause of the web module containing the WebTier component.
a. rsWebAdapterPDFPragnaan - web adapter class for Pragnaan PDF b. rsWebAdapterPDFWaler - web adapter class for Waler PDF
For an example see RBServer\Demos\Web Tier\ISAPI\WebModule.pas. There are comments at the top of the unit that explain what to do. You must have either the Pragnaan or Waler PDF support to implement the Print button.
