ZIP compress PDFs before emailing

edited September 2012 in General
Hi,

A previous post subject "email multiple pdf(attachements) at once" ALMOST
made it easy for me to rewrite/simplify an old application that emails
reports (invoices, statments etc) to customers.
The only problem is: the "old" application adds all reports to a single ZIP
file, and then email the single ZIP file to the customer. Is there any
build-in zip compression functionality in Reportbuilder that can make it
easy to emauil zipped reports?

I am using RB standard latest version on Delphi 7.

Best regards
Louis

    Hi Louis,

    Automatic zip compression of email attachments is not currently a
    feature of ReportBuilder. This is something we will consider for a
    later release of ReportBuilder.

    Currently you will need to export each report individually then use the
    built-in ZLib library that is provided by Delphi to zip the files.
