    Hi,

    You need to set the TppReport.AllowPrintToFile property to True before you
    print.

    Hi,

    Once you set this property to True, you should see the extra Print To File
    section at the bottom of the Print Dialog. Then you can enable printing to
    file by clicking on the Print To File check box in the lower left of the
    dialog. Check the Object Inspector in Delphi for the TppReport object to be
    sure this property is actually set to True.

    Hi,

    To add to what Nico said, if you are loading an archived report at run-time,
    you'll need to set the property at run-time, after loading the report.

    While you are trying out exporting solutions for RB, you may also want to have a
    look at eDocEngine ;).
