Hi Colin,
Sorry if I wasn't being clear.
You have two options.
1. Convert the PDF "template" to an image (jpeg, gif, bmp, etc.) and
place it inside the report using a TppImage component.
2. Convert t… -
Hi Colin,
There are a number of on-line and downloadable conversion tools to
convert PDF files to image or RTF format. A quick search in Google
gives a number of options. I know some customers in the past have used

Hi Colin,
ReportBuilder does not have the ability to display a PDF file inside a
report. The best option would be to use a conversion utility to convert
the PDF to an image or RTF format then add that to the report as theHi John,
I first suggest upgrading to RB 12.04. Does this happen when opening
any report? If you create a simple new application, place a TppReport
on a form and double click it do you still get the error?

I would suggest using an event such as the Report.OnFileDeviceCreate.

Yes, if you expose the FSMTPCustom object of the TppFileDevice class,
you can then access the Indy TidSMTP object used when emailing groups.
This is a temporary simple fix to get you up and running. We wil…Hi Rene,
This is currently a limitation of the Email-Groups feature. The
FileDevice uses it's own TppSMTPCustom object to send each group as a
separate file. This object is not exposed so it cannot be altered. I

When using the RB email feature, the email itself and report attachment
are defined in the TppEmail class. Then the TppEmail class calls the
SendMail routine of the SMTP plugin. If you open the ppSMTPIndy10.pas

The purpose of the article is to show how to gain access to the
underlying Indy (TidSMTP) object. Once you have access to this object,
anything that is possible with a stand-alone Indy project, should be

Thanks for the feedback. We have researched adding interactive form
capability to the PDF device however it is definitely not a trivial
addition.

For some reason once you add your own SQL statement in code,
ReportBuilder is not able to access the data. I tested something
similar using the DBDEMOS database and it functioned correctly.

When are you making changes to the SQL code? Are these alterations
happening before you make a call to Report.Print?

in SIngle record per page Comment by nicocizik April 2011Hi Ricardo,
Does this occur when printing your large report to every printer? Have
you tried printing to a different printer? Be sure you are using the
latest update of the printer driver for each printer you print to.

Try creating a group that starts a new page each time it breaks. Then
place a PageBreak component inside the group where you want the second
page to begin.

ReportBuilder does not natively support placing multi-page Tiff files
inside a report. You would need to find a way to split the image in
code then load each one into a TppImage object as needed.

We are not able to provide an accurate time frame for the next release

Correct, the only way to create empty grid lines below the generated

in Fill in data in fixed grid Comment by nicocizik April 2011Hi Soren,
Take a look at the following article on how to fill the empty space of a
page with lines. You could possibly do something similar with your grid.
in Fill in data in fixed grid Comment by nicocizik April 2011Hi John,
Did recreating the VM solve the problem or does it still exist? Are you
able to open any of the built-in demos and run them successfully?

Hi John,
We have not seen this behavior before. Have you tried recreating this
outside a virtual machine? I also suggest downloading a trial version
of RB 12.04 and seeing if that helps.

The TppDBChart component in ReportBuilder is a simple wrapper around the
actual DBChart in Delphi (created by Steema). You can manually access
the underlying chart object using the TppDBChart.Chart property (as you …Hi Stef,
Both options described below should give you the effect you are after.
The only other option would be to completely create the "columns" in

There is no automatic way to control the top headers as you describe in
your post however it should be possible to manually add or remove each

If you are printing entire report in duplex, it is the duty of the
