Readiing reprot from file crashes Printersetup

edited August 2016 in General
Hi,

we are printing reports into files in order to print them later-
Saving to a files works great, but reading the report later again
creates an exception

The exception occurs in TppPrinter.UpdateForm on line

if (FPrinterSetup.PDeviceMode <> nil) then
StrPCopy(FPrinterSetup.FPDevMode.dmFormName,
FPrinterSetup.PaperName);

as FPrinterSetup.PDeviceMode is undefined our pointing anyware.

Just catching a raises exceptions works fine, but is not good solution.

The strange thing is, that paperformat is A4/poPortrait but in
TppPrinter.UpdateForm FPrinterSetup.PageDef.mmWidth is 5.334.011 and
not 297.000 as expected, FPrinterSetup.PageDef.mmHeight is 210.000 as
expected;

A sample of a defect report can be provided

    Hi Carsten,

    There are no known issues such as this and cannot reproduce it here.


    If you would like to create a simple example project that I can build and
    run here in the debugger I can test it. Please use standard Delphi
    components and RB. Copy data to TClientDataSets. Send in zip format -
    include only .dpr, .pas, .dfm. Send to support@


    Best regards,

    Crash occurs in TppPrinterSetup.PropertiesToDevMode
    on line FPDevMode^.dmPaperWidth := lPaperDimensions.X;
    as lPaperDimensions.X is 55340 which is to big for SHORT=SMALLINT
