Rtf with richtext wrong formatted

Andrea90

Hello,
I am trying to print a report in .rtf format. (I use delphi 12.1 and report builder 22.04.
I have an rtf that I generate on the fly this is the rtf:

{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1040{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil\fcharset0 Arial;}}\qj\b AAAAAA Test TFR\b0 \line \line ()\line \line \b \tab\tab\tab\tab\tab\tab\tab\tab , 1 2/09/2024\b0 \line \line \line \b \tab\tab\tab\tab\tab\tab\tab\tab TFR test\b0 \line \tab\tab\tab\tab\tab\tab\tab\tab \line \tab\tab\tab\tab\tab\tab\tab\tab ()\line \line \line Subject: \b LETTER FROM RECRUITMENT \b0 \line \line \par Following the verbal agreements reached, your hiring is confirmed.

This content is passed to the RichText component but is modified when report is generated and in this way when opening the file the formatting is lost and the file does not appear as in the original format which is editable and perfectly formatted.

The rtf that is generated by the richtextbox (with the rtf above) after printing the report is this:

which is different from what I passed.
If you copy the first text in editor and save in rtf it allows to display the correct formatting (justified text etc), the second generated by richtextbox does not allow it. Is it possible to pass an rtf so that it is not modified?

This is the code to print:

dmReport := TModLettera1Form.Create(nil);
try
dmReport.ppRichText1.Clear;
dmReport.ppRichText1.RichText := MyRtf;
dmReport.ppLettera.EnableProcessMessages := False;
dmReport.ppLettera.ShowAutoSearchDialog := False;
dmReport.ppLettera.ShowPrintDialog := False;
dmReport.ppLettera.AllowPrintToArchive := True;
dmReport.ppLettera.TextFileName := PathToPrint
dmReport.ppLettera.Print;
finally
dmReport.Free;
end;

Thank you for support

Hi Andrea,

When ReportBuilder exports a report to RTF, it cannot simply copy the existing RTF from any TppRichText components present into the resulting exported file. RTF files must be built from the ground up.

RB parses the entire embedded TppRichText, converts it to a metafile, then generates drawcommands based on each Windows API command. From there each drawcommand is then converted to RTF the same way the rest of the report is.

I suggest looking at the following article on how to get the best results from RTF export. It's kind of like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole .
