Reportbuilder with wPDF and RichView

edited December 2007 in General
Hello,
if I'm using a RichView Component in my Report and want it to export
with wPDF the place where the contents of the Richview Component should
be, is empty.
But I've readen that wPDF and RichView should be working perfect.
Is there something to do that it works?
Best wishes
Bernhard

    Hi Bernhard,

    We are not aware of any issues using wPDF and RichView however you might try
    contacting the creators of both for a quicker response on this issue.

    Thanks for your answer. But perhaps I do anything wrong. I'm only
    setting the DeviceType to dtPDFile. That's all. Is there to do something
    more for working with RichView. If so, can you give me an example code.
    I've searched different Newsgroups (wPDF Forum, RichView Forum,
    Digital-Metaphors newsgroups), but I haven't found anything.
    Best wishes

    Hi Bernhard,

    If you have the RichView component and wPDF device properly installed you
    should not have to do anything else to see all your report components in an
    exported PDF. It is the job of the PDF device to find and translate each
    report component to the exported file.

    I noticed your setting your DeviceType property to dtPDFFile. This will use
    the built-in PDF device when exporting. You need to find what the wPDF
    device name is and assign the DeviceType property to that value.

    Hi,

    I am having the same problem when using the RichView wrapper for
    ReportBuilder.

    Everything prints fine, except for the RichView wrapper area which is blank.

    This only happens when I am using TExtraDevices PDF device.
    When I use the built-in pdf device, it prints fine (but the built-in pdf
    device is unfortunately not good enough = files too large and bad image
    quality).

    I am using the latest version o ReportBuilder and RichView and
    TExtraDevices.

    Hi Birger,

    We are unsure if TExtraDevices supports the RichView component. Try
    contacting their support for more information on this topic.
