Native-PDF: Copies / RTF-Quality

rbuser

Hi,

two questions about the native pdf-export:

1) Is it possible to specify the number of copies created? I tried
ppReport.PrinterSetup.Copies := 2;
and
ppReport.Printer.PrinterSetup.Copies := 2;
without having success.

2) We use the native RTF-memo a quite a lot. When exporting to PDF the RTF
gets rendered as an low quality image, so the formatted text doesn't look
very nice. Is there an easy way to improve that?

Thanks for your answer.

Hi Christian,

1. Copies are not supported with the built-in PDF device. You will need to
create a loop that calls Report.Print for each copy you would like to
create.

2. This is a limitation of using advanced components such as RichText and
Barcodes with the PDF device. All advanced components are converted to
bitmaps before exported. This process decreases the quality of the output
in most cases. We are working to improve this for the next release. I
believe other PDF export devices such as Gnostice support high quality
renderings of RTF etc. http://www.gnostice.com
