Print to file option in Printer Dialog in custom reports

How do you get the printer dialog to prompt for "Print to file" like you can
with normal TppReport? AllowPrintToFile=true on the custom TppReport
doesn't work. In the designer you can select from the File menu "Print to
File Setup" but that's not what I want to do.

I want to simply have the option of printing to a PDF (and TExtraOptions) as
I can with other reports.

Thanks,
Bill Skelton

    - one option is to use the Report.Template.OnLoadEvent and
    Report.Template.OnNew events to configure the default properties for the
    report

    - the other option is to load the report definition, use the Designer object
    inspector to set AllowPrintToFile to true and then resave the report.

    The object inspector properties for a report are saved as part of the report
    definition. If you set Report.AllowPrintToFile to True and subsequently load
    a report definition, the property value will be updated with the value that
    was saved with the report.
