Export To PDF File

rbuser

Hi
I Upgraded from RB 7.03 to RB 9.02. The aim is to upgrade the project from
Delphi 6 to Deplhi 2005.
With Reportbuilder having the ability to export the report as PDF, I opted
not to user the previous route of using Pragnaan Export devices. It was
simple Add teh required unit, And then ExportToPDF(ppreort1,ReportName);

Now for the problem:
How do I Export the report directly to a file, not even showing any dialogs?
The manual is still the same as it were when I got 7.03(Third edition), so
it is of NO HELP.

Hi Edward,

If you are using the help file included with RB 9.02, there should be a
topic for the TppPDFDevice object. This includes instructions and an
example of how to use the device. Also, for RB 9.02, two demos were added
to the \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\demo.dpr project. Take a look at demos
108 and 109 for PDF export examples.

As always I would recommend upgrading to the latest version of ReportBuilder
(9.03). This is a free upgrade if you purchased RB 9.0x in the past.

Edward,

Version 9.03 was just release a couple weeks ago. An email was sent out to
every registered user of RB 9.0x notifying of this upgrade. I apoligize if
you did not receive this notification. Please contact
info@digital-metaphors.com with your serial number and purchasing email
address for upgrade information.

Are you speaking of the ReportBuilder Developer's Guide? If so, you are
correct, this document has not been updated to include the PDF device. This
is meant to be a basic tutorial to get developers the necessary skills to
begin creating reports and reporting applications. If you search for the
TppPDFDevice class in your Delphi help, are you able to find a topic? If
not, you may need to re-install ReportBuilder as the current help file was
corrupted or not installed correctly.
