PDF output - different results - Windows 7, Windows XP, Windows Server 2008

rbuser

Hi

I have a report (rb 12.03 with Delphi XE) using arial font.

I tested output in PDF with different results:
- Windows 7 - output is ok
- Windows XP e Windows Server 2008 - label with hiperlink at end,
com.br isn´t underlined
Some text printed in colums are cutted at the end (bold and not bold).

If I print same report to PDF CREATOR in PDF, the result is OK.

Best regards

Hi Sergio,

You are using an older version of ReportBuilder. Please first upgrade
to RB 12.05 and retest your report. If this does not solve the issue,
try downloading a trial copy of RB 14.08 and test with that.

Hi NICO, with all other version o RB after 12.03 using with APOLLO
DATABASE, i get

"error 3200 invalid work area"

You can download a TRIAL at http://www.apollodb.com/ e make a small
project. At design time you will got this error.

Hi Sergio,

For future reference, please do not use all caps when posting. It
implies that you are yelling.

I downloaded the latest Apollo trial and tested it with a simple app
using RB 12.05 and their sample data tables. This all functioned
correctly and I did not receive any errors.

sorry for all caps.

I tryed with test.dbf in Apollo\DATA folder and get same error.

I am using Delphi XE and Apollo 7.2. I tested today with RB 14.07
trial. I use Windows 7 64 bits.

At design time I got the error.

Hi Sergio,

In you second post, you said that all versions after RB 12.03 caused an
error. Have you tried 12.05?

For RB 14, you will likely need to set the
Report.PreviewFormSettings.SinglePageOnly property to True in order to
use Apollo components.

Hi Nico

Report.PreviewFormSettings.SinglePageOnly:= True; works with Apollo and
RB 14.07 trial.

But I got another problem

I use same labels with black background and font = clWhite. This isn´t
working. Labels print black.

I tried to change colors of font to clred without background (without
borders too) and at design time, preview printed clred, but at runtime
printed clBlack.

The font color isn´t changing, is always clBlack. Is this a bug or I
am making something wrong?

Best regards

Hi Sergio,

I first suggest downloading the latest trial (14.08) and test with that.
If you still get the same issue, please send a simple example using
only RB and Delphi components that I can run on my machine to me in .zip
format and I'll take a look at it for you.

Send the example to support@digital-metaphors.com.
