pdf - canvas does not allow drawing

rbuser

I am trying to print to a pdf without displaying anything to the canvas
(because I am inside an intraweb application.)

I keep getting the message 'canvas does not allow drawing'.

Is there a property that I need to turn off?

I already am setting the following

Process_Report.ShowPrintDialog := False;
Process_Report.TextFileName := filedir;
Process_Report.DeviceType := 'PDF';
Process_Report.ModalCancelDialog := false;
Process_Report.ModalPreview := false;
Process_Report.ShowCancelDialog := false;

Thanks

Joel

Hi Joel,

Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? Are you tring to export any
images to PDF that are not bitmaps?

Sorry. It is version 9.0.2.

I am not using any images. (I only receive the error when I try to run it
under IIS web server.)

Thanks

Hi Joel,

If possible, please set your library path to point to \RBuilder\Source\ and
set your debugger to stop on exceptions. Then try to trace into the
RBuilder source when the error occures. Let me know what you find.

Hmm. I am not setup to debug dll's under IIS. The code works fine if I am
debugging it under delphi, but the minute I compiled the code to run as a
dll under IIS then I start getting the error code.

I am not sure how to proceed?

Hi Joel,

Although I have not tested the PDF export with intraweb, we do have many
customers using it. I was able to test an ISAPI web app with our report
server using IIS and this seemed to work correctly. This may have something
to do with the fact that the user is different in IIS and it does not have
access to the proper printer drivers, or other files to successfully
generate the report.

Ok. That sounds logical so I will check the user running IIS.
