How to generate a postscript file ?

rbuser

I tryed

Report.DeviceType:='PrinterFile';
Report.TextFileName:='c:\temp\test.ps';
Report.PrintToDevices;

but the PS file don't seem to be valid :-(


I'm asking that because I want to convert the PS file into a PDF file
without using TExtraDevice (PDF result isn't good enought).

- Most windows print drivers generate PCL. Make sure that use a printer
driver that generates post script.

- Configure the Report.PrinterSetup.PrinterName property to use the
postscript printer

- Specify the Report.Printersetup.FileName

Try something like this...

uses
ppTypes,
ppPrintr;

myReport.DeviceType := dtPrinter;
myReport.PrinterSetup.FileName := 'c\temp\test.ps';
myReport.Print;


- There are other options for generating PDF that could test...
