TppRichText and PDF

rbuser

I'm trying to add a RichText to the header of a report but the quality of
the generated text is very low.

If you use DeviceType = "screen" or "Printer" all works well but with a
DeviceType=PDF the text inside the RichText is quite unreadable.

Any suggestions?

Advanced components such as RichText and Barcode are first converted into
bitmaps before exported to PDF causing a loss in output quality in most
cases. This is something we are researching to improve for a later release
of ReportBuilder. Currently you can try using a third party export device
such as Gnostice for a higher quality output.

I found this to be true only when using RTF. So, I use TExtraDevices for
$50.00 USD for my PDF output and it works really well for what I need.
Plus, it gives me other formats like HTML, Excel, etc that I may use in
future.

My RTF reports include many photo quality images and tables that I create in
MsWord for alignment of data. The reports and PDF output is crisp and
professional looking.

It was easy to implement with RB. Drop their component on your form, and
select the output format desired. That's it!

Good luck.
