  • Hi Marco,

    For furture reference, please use your real name when posting to these
    newsgroups.

    Please upgrade to ReportBuilder 10.09 and test with that. We made a few
    changes to the MAPI plugin between 10.06 and 10.0…
  • Hi Bert,

    Sorry, after re-reading your initial post, it looks as though I gave you the
    wrong information, the code below will display the page setup dialog, not
    the printer settings dialog.

    To display the printer set…
  • Hi Bert,

    See demo 121 in the \Demos\1. Reports\... directory for an example of
    creating your own page setup dialog. Also something like the following may
    be useful to show the existing page setup from code.

  • Hi Mike,

    I believe tabs should be supported for the PDF device. If possible, please
    send a simple example to support@digital-metaphors.com in .zip format that
    demonstrates the issue and I'll take a look at it for you.
  • Hi Frederic,

    Try tracing into the TppSMTPIndy.Connect routine and check the
    FSMTP.LastCmdResult after it tries to connect to the server. You can also

    If you take a look at the demo in the following article you can see how to
    manually register separate plugins at runtime. Each time you would like to
    switch plugins, you will need to register it using this method…
  • Hi Julien,

    Try using the Advanced options button on the Print Dialog to access the
    features of the specific driver you are using. You can also access these
    options from the designer using the DeviceSettings property of the

    Sorry, I was unaware that you were using RAP. For future reference, please
    let us know if you are writing code in Delphi or RAP code, or post in the
    RAP newsgroup. This prevents much confusion.

  • Hi Jerri,

    In my testing with the code below in the Report.BeforePrint event, the
    pagestyle band did not print when printing to the printer from the preview
    window. If you step into that code, is the printer device equal to ni…
  • Hi Jerri,

    When printing the stationary internally, simply set the PageStyle band's
    Visible property to False.

  • Hi Jerri,

    The built-in PDF export device does not currently include security features.
    This is something we would like to add to a later release of ReportBuilder.
    The device creates PDF version 1.3 files.

  • Hi Davide,

    From the print dialog, you can select the Properties button to access the
    device driver settings.

  • Hi Jason,

    All new features will be added for the next major release of ReportBuilder.
    The minor releases are typically for bug fixes and small enhancements. I
    unfortunately cannot give any information on when the next major r…
  • Hi Jason,

    Yes, we are strongly considering adding encryption/password protection
    options to the built-in PDF device for a future release.

  • Hi Roberto,

    ReportBuilder 11 includes a new feature that allows you to export each group
    as a separate file (PDF, text, etc.) automatically.

    Otherwise, you will need to create loop that changes the search criteria of

    This feature was recently added when we released ReportBuilder 11. It
    allows you to automatically export each group as a separate file without any
    other processing.

  • Hi Hanjo,

    Using Anchors you may be able to get the effect you are after. This will
    keep certain objects the same distance away from two adjacent sides of the
    report regardless how the margins/page size is changed.

  • Hi Paul,

    This is not a known issue. My first guess would be that there is a setting
    on the printer driver causing this. You might try creating a minimal test
    application (report on a form with a button) and see if they still…
  • Hi Omar,

    When printing from Adobe, be sure you are not scaling the report to fit in
    the pagespace. There are numerous options in the Adobe print dialog and you
    want to be sure you are printing the raw document.

  • Hi Omar,

    What are the DBTexts shifting relative to? Are you able to add a line or
    shape component to the report to see this shifting effect or are you
    comparing the printed output of the report to the printed output of Adobe?…

  • Hi Everett,

    I'm a bit unclear what you mean by using your "standard" print dialog. In
    my quick testing with a minimal application, the number I set the
    PrinterSetup.Copies to was carried over to the Print Dialog when I printe…
  • Hi Everett,

    When printing directly to the printer are you simply changing the DeviceType
    and calling Report.Print? Are you setting the copies in code some place or
    just at design time?

  • Hi Jose,

    I do not believe this will work in RB 7.03. One option would be to try to
    manually check to see if any detail records are available for a given master
    record then toggle the Visible property of the subreport. Note t…
  • Hi Jose,

    Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? An issue similar to this was
    addressed for RB 11.05.

  • Hi Tony,

    I'm sorry you are having these issues.

    My first suggestion would be to give Gnostice another try. Their product is
    very advanced and their support is very responsive. Their support team
