Divide by 0 when sending report to PDF
Hi
Getting a divide by zero error when sending a report to PDF. The report is fine when run to the report builder viewer but when a print to a PDF file is attempted I get a divide by zero is the following place
ppPDFCanvas
procedure TppPDFCanvas.SelectWorldTransform(aScaleX, aScaley, aOrgX, aOrgY: Double);
if FTransformModified then
begin
SelectScaling((FInitialTransform.ScaleX / FModifiedTransform.ScaleX), (FInitialTransform.ScaleY / FModifiedTransform.ScaleY));
RestorePageHeight;
SavePageHeight(FInitialTransform.PageHeight);
SelectCoordintateSpace((FInitialTransform.OrgX - FModifiedTransform.OrgX), (FInitialTransform.OrgY - FModifiedTransform.OrgY), PageHeight);
//FPageHeightPos := FInitialTransform.PageHeightPos;
end;
The values I have are
FModifiedTransform.ScaleX = 0
FModifiedTransform.ScaleY = 0
The report output is a simple table (from word) with 14 columns and 3 rows (including header row). The distinguishing part of this table is that the headings are all vertical text. It all seems to work with a table and horizontal text.
Delphi RIO 10.3
RB 19.03

If possible, please send a copy of the Metafile to us for testing. A divide-by-zero case should not ever happen when processing a WorldTransform operation but it appears there is a case where it does.
Send the example image to support@digital-metaphors.com.

Please note that this issue only arises when a rotated object is displayed using the TRichView plugin for ReportBuilder. TRichView uses a method to rotate the coordinate space of a Metafile that is not currently supported by the ReportBuilder PDF export. This is something that we will research and add for a future release.
There is a patch available for RB 20.04 that resolves the "divide-by-0" error. Registered users of RB 20.04 with a current softwares subscription can email support@ to receive the patch.
For now, the best way to work around the rotation limitation is to export this image as a bitmap using the TppImage.ExportMetafileAsBitmap property (or similar property for the TRichView control). Also be sure to set PDFSettings.ScaleImages to False to get the best quality image.
