PDF of ReportBuilder 10 versus PDFFile of ExtraDevice

edited January 2007 in General
Hello,
do you think, that the PDF Creating of RB 10 is faster as the PDF
Creating of ExtraDevice?

In RB 7.04 I've used the PDF Creating of ExtraDevice. But it is very,
very slow. On some computer it needs more than 20 seconds for one PDF
File (one or two pages). Is the PDF Creating of RB 10 faster?

Best wishes
Bernhard

    Hi Bernhard,

    I would suggest trying out both products side by side to find out the speed
    difference. Although we have not extensively tested ExtraDevices, I do not
    believe there is much difference in the generation speed. The RB PDF device
    offers the ability to adjust the amount of compression used which can either
    increase speed or decrease the file size depending on how much compression
    you use.

    Now I've tested it. Extra Device was so slow with RB 7.04. With RB 10 it
    is fast with DeviceType='RTF' and 'RTFFile'.
