Problems with Reportbuilder PDF export

edited January 2007 in Devices
Hi, i'm using Delphi7 + RB 10.02

I have two kinds of problems:



First question:



This is the problem:

I'm producing a master/detail report,

it's a report where in the detail band

i put images using objet ppdbimage.

When i see on screen or i print

the result of the report all works fine and i see different

images for each differerent record but it happens that when i

do a pdf export result is wrong and on pdf output, only

first image comes replicated on each record.. it does not

repeat entire first record.. only the images are wrong

and the first one is reapeted on all different records.



Then i did a different experiment, a tried to

make export using pdf writer by Adobe.. and it works fine.



So i believe this is a bug or maybe i need a patch.



Second question:

Using report builder it's possible to obtain a duplex printing

acting on dedicated checkbox, what i have to do if i want to use

instead the property panel of a duplex printer and obtain that

end user can choose when to have a duplex output ?



I tried but it seems that report builder printer setup averride the printer
driver.





Thanks in advance, waiting to hear from you.



Best regards.

    Hi Roberto,

    1. This has been fixed for the latest version of ReportBuilder. Please
    upgrade to RB 10.04.

    2. Duplexing can be set from the print dialog or by default using the
    TppPrinterSetup object. I'm a bit unclear about what you would like to give
    your users the option to do. Duplexing can be enabled from the print dialog
    at runtime if they would like to use it and their printer supports that type
    of printing.

    Hi Roberto,

    I believe the duplex settings refer to how you will be turning the page in
    your document. For instance if you will be flipping the page over
    vertically or horizontally like a book. dbNone disables duplexing.
