  • Hi Eliseu,

    ReportBuilder 9 or higher include the TppPageBreak component which will
    automatically break to a new page at a given location. This is located in
    the Advanced Components toolbar in the designer.

  • Hi Luke,

    This is not a known issue with RB 12. I'm a bit unclear about the
    screenshots. Is this a picture of the actual output to the label printer or
    is this the screen output? Does this happen with all Reports/fonts? If …
  • Hi Frédéric,

    The Infopower addon for ReportBuilder is meant to be used only with the
    InfoPower RichEdit control, not DBExpress. We have not tested the use of
    the TcxDBRichEdit with ReportBuilder.

  • Hi Frédéric,

    Take a look at the following article on how the RichText components work in
    ReportBuilder and the options to enhanced their capabilities.

    Please send a simple example demonstrating this issue that I can run on my
    machine in .zip format to support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll take a look
    at it for you.

  • Hi Omar,

    Which version of ReportBuilder and Delphi are you using? Does this happen
    with other text components such as labels or memos?

  • Hi Nicola,

    All language translations are done by other customers who volunteer for the
    task. Occasionally when we add new properties, it takes a while for us to
    obtain the updated translations.

    It is however possib…
  • Hi Michael,

    Built-in RTF export was added for the latest version of ReportBuilder (RB
    12). Take a look at the following web site for all new enhancements made
    for ReportBuilder 12.

  • Hi Jeroen,


    Thanks for the feedback, we will consider this for a later release. It is
    however not required to use the existing button properties of the TppPreview
    class in your custom preview plugin. Currently as a work…
  • Hi Martin,

    Take a look at demo 32 located in the \Demos\1. Reports\... directory. This
    demo shows how you might create newspaper columns using ReportBuilder.

  • Hi Michael,

    The FontSub.dll was introduced for Windows 2000 and is used with the PDF
    device to create font subsets. We will research possibly removing this
    capability for certain operating systems for the next maintenance rel…
  • Hi Rich,

    If you set the TppImage or TppDBImage component to Stretch, the image should
    automatically shrink to the size of the component itself. All you need to
    do is ensure the image component is sized correctly based on the …
  • Hi Jason,

    This is not a known issue and in my testing with RB 12, I was unable to
    recreate this behavior. You might try downloading a trial edition of RB 12
    and test with that. If you would like, you can send me a simple exa…
  • Hi Mark,

    An archive is simply a snapshot of each Page of a report. The ArchiveDevice
    simply saves a binary copy of each TppPage object and later reads these
    objects when viewing/printing. Be sure that the image information i…
  • Hi Erich,

    ReportBuilder 9 is not fully compatible with Windows Vista/7. The latest
    version of ReportBuilder addresses the issues dealing with the security
    changes in these operating systems including the ability to remove the…

    in DBText not fully printed on Windows 7 Comment by nicocizik August 2010
  • Hi Denise,

    If you are using the Memo.Lines.Add() routine, you must be adding the
    desired text line by line. In this case you can measure how much space the
    text will take using the TCanvas.TextHeight() routine.

    For…
  • Hi Nicola,

    For RB 12, we made some significant design changes to the PDF device and
    how it manages memory.

    I would first suggest updating your copy of RB to 11.08 and see if this
    solves the issue. If not, you can s…

    in RB12 - Out of Memory error on PDF Output !! Comment by nicocizik November 2010
  • Hi Steve,

    One of the limitations of the trial edition is that you can only
    print/export 5 pages of any report.

  • Hi Steve,

    If you export the large report to an Archive file, then try to export it to
    PDF using the ArchiveReader, do you still get the same result? If so, you
    can send me the archive file and I can test that here with the la…
  • Hi Steve,

    My first suggestion would be to upgrade to RB 11.08 (free upgrade) and see
    if that helps the issue. Contact info@digital-metaphors.com with your
    serial number and purchasing email address for upgrade instructions.
  • Hi Norman,

    Which exact version of ReportBuilder are you using and which version of
    Delphi are you using?

    This is not a known issue however it is possible that there is a memory leak
    causing this that is only exposed…
  • Hi Steve,

    Groups are a fundamental feature of ReportBuilder and are essential for many
    data-driven reports. I highly suggest spending some time with the
    Developer's Guide working through the provided tutorials to become more …
  • Hi Steve,

    I'm sorry, I did not realize your images were on a database (I missed the
    subject). Since each image is located in a dataset, there is another option
    using groups that would be easier. In a new report, try creating…
  • Hi Steve,

    1. Create a report with nothing but a Detail Band.
    2. Place 6 Section style subreports inside the detail band.
    3. Load each separate image into each subreport.

  • Hi Frédéric,

    Perhaps I misunderstood your question.

    The sorting options will not affect the visibility capability in any way,
    they simply control how the rows or columns are sorted. It is currently not
    possible to …
  • Hi Frédéric,

    Sorry for the misunderstanding. It is not possible to hide the row or
    column dimensions of the Crosstab. With the current implementation, it is
    only possible to hide the total and subtotal values.

  • Hi Frédéric,

    Which version of ReportBuilder and Delphi are you currently using?

    1. Simply right click the dimension and select the "Visible" option.

    2. I'm a bit unclear about what exactly you would like to sort on…
