Embed PDF image under report text

rbuser

Hello All:

We use Reportbuilder 6.02 with Delphi 5 and need to embed a PDF image
into a report and fill in the blanks with text.

How can we display a PDF image within ReportBuilder ???

If a PDF cannot be displayed, what format should we convert it to so
that we may display it in the ReportBuilder Image component ???

Any further guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.

HI,

if your PDF image is a form, then you can try to use Grid Pack for
ReportBuilder, in such case, you don't need to embed PDF Image.

What I am reproducing are indeed forms very similar to what your
gridpack looks like on the website.

For this current form, I ended up using a shape, a bunch of lines, and
an image component. A 21 line form took me 2 hours.

How much time would your grid component save me ???

On your website, I noticed that the images had text cutoff - do you have
any issues with text sizing ???


Thanks.

No, this is not a text sizing issue. It is actually using the text bounds
in printer pixels and display it in screen pixels at design time, which is a
correct way.

For optimal embedding of PDF with ReportBuilder:

1. Open the PDF in Adobe Illustrator.
2. Export to EMF file.
3. Load this into a ReportBuilder image component.
4. Set the image property "Direct to printer".
