Hi Ennio,

Currently the ReportBuilder PDF device converts advanced drawcommands
such
as RTF and BarCodes to bitmaps before they are transferred to the PDF
file.
This can cause a reduction in the quality of these components in some
cases.
This is something we have on our todo list to enhance for a later
release of
ReportBuilder. For an immediate workaround, you might try using the
third
party export device Gnostice as I believe the quality of such components
is
improved.

Hi Ennio,

Please change the subject when posting about a new topic.

There are currently no components that allow you to embed a PDF file in a
report. One option is to convert your PDF file into a format that can be
displayed in RB such as RichText or and Image, this display it using one of
the built-in components. Try Googling PDF conversion options or take a look
at Gnostice for a conversion utility.
