Hi Abel,
Thank you for the suggestions. We understand that many of our customers
need these export devices included natively and with the same quality as
the rest of ReportBuilder and we are definitely taking note.

Hi Ralf,
First be sure you are using the latest version of ReportBuilder (11.06).
There is a patch available that fixes some tab-stop related issues with PDF
for RB 11.06. Email support@digital-metaphors.com if you would… -

Hi Erik,
ReportBuilder currently does not support Excel export. The devices natively
included with ReportBuilder are Text, Report Text, Archive, PDF, and HTML
(server only). If you are using TExtraDevices, you will need to c…Hi Joaquin,
When you define a page range in the print dialog, ReportBuilder essentially
creates a page list as you describe below. Take a look at the
ppTextToPageList routine located in the ppUtils.pas file. This is what the…Hi Joaquin,
Take a look at demo 124 located in the \Demos\1. Reports\... directory.
This shows how to print a list of pages. The Page Range entry in the

ReportBuilder 11 is backward compatible and includes a version that supports
Delphi 7. As Nard mentioned, we recommend downloading a trial copy of the
product first and testing your code with it. If you have any is…Hi Peter,
This is not a known issue with RB 7.04. If you are not using 7.04, try
upgrading and see if that solves the problem. Also, before printing, check
your printer settings to be sure it is set up to print in color (pro…Hi Jesus,
ReportBuilder does not have the capability of displaying PDF files inside
the report.
I believe there are some utilities out there that can convert PDF to
different formats. Take a look at VeryPDFHi Mike,
ReportBuilder attempts to use the default printer when previewing/printing a
report. All printing is done indirectly through generic API commands. We
have many other customers successfully using Citrix with ReportBu…Hi Jim,
I am not completely sure how TExtraDevices handles Richtext components in
ReportBuilder however it may be similar to the way the built-in PDF device
did for versions earlier than 11. Basically when converting a Richte…Hi Stephen,

Digital MetaphorsHi Stephen,
Yes, you can use the Report.EmailSettings.FileName property to determine
where the emailed file will be saved. If this property is left blank, the
file is saved in the default temp location for Windows.
Hi Simon,
Are you using the MAPI plugin with Outlook? If so, do you have Outlook open
when you click the email button? If so, try closing Outlook (or any other
email client) and then try sending the email again. By default …Hi Simon,
There is a patch that fixes the blank page issue. Contact
support@digital-metaphors.com to receive the patch. Take a look at the

in email Comment by nicocizik December 2009Hello,
For future reference, please use your real name when posting to these
newsgroups.
I'm a bit unclear about the issue.
Do you mean that when you print, you are getting the preview window instead
Hi Eliseu,
What about the report is "mangled"? Are the components simply in the
incorrect position? Are certain components shifted in a certain direction?
Are certain components simply not displaying correctly?Hi Eliseu,
What specific issue are you having with the export to RTF? Does this happen
with every Report? You might try contacting Gnostice support as well, they
tend to be more responsive.

ReportBuilder does not currently natively support exporting to RTF format.
This is a feature we are strongly considering adding for a later release.
If you are having an issue with a third party export utility,…Hi Kreso,
I am unsure how this was working for Acrobat 6. Perhaps you were using a
special font? My first suggestion would be to upgrade your version to RB
10.09 and Adobe Reader 9 and see if that helps the issue. Are you c…Hi Kevin,
In my quick testing, exporting a landscape report to PDF correctly changed
the size of the paper from 8.5x11 to 11x8.5 and printed to my printer
successfully as a landscape report.
Are you certain you are …Hi Anton,
1. Report Bands do not have the concept of Parent Width or Parent Height.
By definition they take up the entire width of a page and are sized
vertically to the user's specifications (dynamically or statically).
Hi Anton,
The DrawCommand object only holds basic positional information about the
text to be shown/printed. The device itself determines the alignment and
adjusts the output accordingly. You can see this inside the
Dr…Hi Anton,
An archive file does not have a concept of "data". As I mentioned before,
it is simply a snapshot of the generated report. Think of it as a PDF or
RTF file.
If you are creating a device that does not rel…Hi Anton,
What exactly are you trying to accomplish? There should be no need for a
Band concept when printing Archive files. These are simply snapshots of a
pre-generated report.
As for the producer (report), ther…Hi Anton,
Please see my previous post. I believe it would help if you defined exactly
what you are trying to accomplish.
The ArchiveDevice simply uses the TStream.WriteComponent routine to save

ReportBuilder uses the z-order to define the order in which components are
created and sent to a device.
You can adjust the z-order by using the SendToBack, BringToFront,
SendBackward, BringForward, functi…Hi Erich,
Correct. In order to use ReportBuilder with Delphi 2010, you will need to
upgrade to RB 11.08.
ReportBuilder 11 natively supports label rotation so there is no need for a
third party solution.…
