Printing to PDf drivers
Hi folks
I am using RBuilder enterprise 6.01 and am having difficulty priting to
various pdf drivers. The one I get the best success with is Win2PDF but not
perfect. The situation is that I have a mixture of portrait size subreports
followed by some landscape size subreports. On the landscape I have a title
bar that is 11 inches wide with some ppLabels and ppSystemVariables that
show up ok in the pdf document. Also a couple of ppShape components that are
aligned to ParentWidth. There is also an ppImage component in the titleband
that prints fine on a real printer but does not show up when printing to
pdf. If I reduce the width of the ppImage to less than half the width of the
report it show up in the pdf.
Now while writing this news item I have discovered that if I change the
ppImage.DirectDraw to true the problem goes away. So I'll leave this post in
case others run across this issue.

We have had customers in the past try to print to a PDF Driver with very
limited success as well. Thanks for the information.
