  • Hi Steve,

    Have you tried exporting directly to PDF using the built-in PDF device?

    ReportBuilder uses the Delphi JPEG library to natively handle JPEG images.
    I assume that this is what converts your CMYK images to RGB. It…
  • Hi Tu,

    The TppPDFDevice does not provide a feature to create bookmarks inside a PDF
    file. This is something we will consider adding for a later release of
    ReportBuilder. Thanks for the feedback.

    I'm not familiar w…
  • Hello,

    For a quicker response about this issue, you might try contacting the
    support email address of the third party export software you are using to
    create excel files.

    Although Waler frequently checks these newsgroups, you might try contacting
    their support directly for a quicker response.

    I am unsure about the details of Extradevices, however I can tell you that

  • Hi Franca,

    What database and connectivity are you using to access your data?

    You can download a trial edition of RB 10.06 for testing from our website.
    Be sure you have your old RB 7.x install file available if you need t…
  • Hi Franca,

    1. As a test try downloading the latest version of ReportBuilder (10.06)
    for Delphi 7 and test with that.
    2. Are you certain your machine contains enough memory to handle a report
    of this size?

  • Hi Franca,

    This is not a known issue with ReportBuilder. As a test, try traversing
    that amount of data without the use of ReportBuilder and see if you see the
    same error. This could indicate a limitation in the database/conn…
  • Hi Franca,

    Which version of ReportBuilder/Delphi/Windows are you using? What does the
    report consist of? Try setting Report.CachePages to False and disabling the
    Report outline. If your report contains numerous large images…
  • Hi Jean-Francois,

    After calling EndJob, try calling Printer.EndDoc manually to force
    ReportBuilder to end the document.

    lPrinterDevice.StartPrintJob := False;
    lPrinterDevice.EndPrintJob := True;
    lPrinterDevice.E…
  • Where are you calling the PrinterDevice.EndJob routine from? If you take a
    look at the TppPrinterDevice.EndJob routine you will see that it will not
    end the job unless the EndPrintJob property is set to True so you will need
    to be…
  • Hi Jean-Francois,

    I'm a bit unclear about what you are trying to accomplish. The idea of the
    StartPrintJob and EndPrintJob properties it to give you complete control of
    where and when a print job will start and end. If you h…

  • Mojoala,

    Which export device are you using to export to hypertext? ReportBuilder
    Server has the capability to export to XHTML. If you are using a third
    party utility, you might want to contact them directly for a quicker

  • Hi Bojan,

    You might try contacting Pragnaan support directly for a quicker response
    for this issue. Have you tried using the built-in PDF device that is

  • Hi Mojoala,

    Which third party device are you using to export your reports to a jpeg
    file? Although the third party vendors do monitor these newsgroup
    frequently, you may get a quicker response if you contact them directly.
  • For future reference, please use your real name when posting to these
    newsgroups.

    For a list of all printers available you can use the
    Report.PrinterSetup.PrinterNames property.

  • Hi Jim,

    You should be able to define the default device used using the
    Report.DeviceType property. You will however need to be sure to use the
    correct device names Gnostice uses.

    For instance, with the native RB PD…
  • Hi Marcelo,

    If possible, please send a small example (including the specific draft font
    file you are using) that demonstrates this issue in .zip format to
    support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll research this for you.

  • Hi Steve,

    Exporting to a text file is very similar to printing to a Dot Matrix
    printer. The device tries to place text objects in the proper position
    based on a text grid rather than using Report Units such as inches or
  • Hi Branden,

    Yes, this is possible only if each group is contained in a single page.
    ReportBuilder is not designed to start and end print/device jobs based on
    the start and end of a group.

  • Hi Adam,

    There is no built-in feature to print each group to a separate PDF document
    however we are strongly considering adding a feature like this to a later
    release of ReportBuilder.

    One option would be to create …

    Are you printing archive files with the ArchiveReader or simply printing
    copies of reports? Which version of ReportBuilder are you using?

    The fact that you are using a network printer should not have an effect o…

    Archives are simple snapshots of a generated report. The tech tip you are
    referring to relies on certain report events that fire during generation to
