Pdf and Barcode

rbuser

Hello,

D2007 and RB10.9

I use the barcode COD39 and all is ok if I use the printers, but if I use
the export to pdf, the barcode is unreadable because the pdf resolution is
too low.
Is it possible to have a better resolution ?

Hi Pierre,

For future reference, please post using your real name rather than "Hva".

Currently advanced RB components such as Barcodes and RichTexts are first
converted to bitmaps before being exported to the PDF file. This causes a
loss in fidelity. It is on our todo list for a later release to include
full vector graphic support which would remove the need to export them as
bitmaps.

For the time being you might take a look at Gnostice. I believe they
support exporting most report components directly.

Does any solution exist for this issue ? I've tried to join James Waler, but
without success.

Hi Laurent,

I would suggest trying Gnostice for the time being. The next major release
of ReportBuilder will include drastically enhanced PDF export capabilities.

Hi Nico,

I've found the solution ...

I use a component "TAsBarCode" (freeware with source) which writes a barcode
in a TImage.

And on BeforeBandGenerate event, I assign TppImage.Picture with
TImage.Picture.

It runs fine with printer and PDF export (TExtraDev).

Thank's a lot for your response.

Laurent.
