Thanks

> How can I generate a PDF file without showing any dialogs?


I'm working on something similar right now.

Create the required devices (TppPDFDevice) prior to printing, then call
TppReport.PrintToDevices;

Here's a quick example:

lDevice := TppPDFDevice.Create(self);
lDevice.FileName := ...
lDevice.OtherSetting :=...
lDevice.Publisher := ppReport1.Publisher

ppReport1.PrintToDevices;

lDevice.Free;

Hi,

I've tried setting showPrintDialog before and the print dialog don't show
indeed, but the "PDF Export Setup" shows up everytime.
When I try printToDevices nothing happens.

Thanks

The example on rbWiki should work correctly. It uses RB's built-in PDF
export. Download and give it a try.

RB does not have a PDF Export Setup dialog. Perhaps you are using an RB
add-on to do the PDF export? If so, then you try contacting the publisher of
the component to ask about suppressing their dialog.

You're right, it was a trace of the pragnaan. Wich from this moment on we no
longer use.

Thanks and sorry for the mistake.
