How would I.....

rbuser

Hi,

I have a lot of reports made in Delphi 6 accessed through DLL's. Now
however I have upgraded to D8.NET and are making an ASP.Net
Application. I tried to access the same reports and instead of
previewing them I tried to export them to PDF.

This led to numerous problems.


Basically I do not want to have to rewrite the reports again, all I
wish to do is output the report to a pdf file.

Can this be done with ReportBuilder Pro or do I need to upgrade....

Any advice appreciated.

Hi Jeremy,

First, if you are using Delphi 8, there will need to be complete separation
between ReportBuilder and your Delphi 8 application. There is no version of
ReportBuilder that is supported by Delphi 8. In other words, the process of
loading the report into a report object, then exporting it to PDF will need
to be done entirely in Delphi 6, where then you can do what you want with
them using ASP .NET in Delphi 8.

As far as exporting all your reports to PDF, this should just be a matter of
loading your report into a report object and printing it to a PDF file using
the specific export device you have installed (i.e. Waler, Gnostice).
Perhaps you could elaborate on the specific issues you are having with this
part of the application.

Thanks Nico,

My specific problem may not even be related to ReportBuilder but
essentially I want to Stream the report out of the dll back to the
ASP.NET application.
