  • Hi Samuel,

    Are you exporting to a delimited text file or a Report Emulation Text file?
    Check your report to see if there is some sort of logical separation at the
    point that separates in the text files (page break, group break…
  • Hi Samuel,

    If you are exporting to a delimited text file (Text File Device), I
    recommend using the Print To File Setup option from the file menu of the
    ReportBuilder designer. This allows you to select which text objects you …
  • Hi Lianfeng,

    Thanks for the information.

    Checking the Windows Task Manager is not always a valid way to check the
    memory usage of an appliction. I would suggest using a memory manager such
    as FastMM or AQTime.
  • Hi Lianfeng,

    Please specify which version of ReportBuilder and Delphi you are using as
    well as some more specifics on your application. Which device are you using
    to export your report to file?

  • Hi Rob,

    The ability to create and manipulate various TeeChart parts is currently
    somewhat limited in RAP. I believe to access the actual series object, you
    will need to create a pass thru function. This is something we have …
  • Hi Barry,

    Try creating a simple test that does not assing any properties at runtime
    and see if you can get that working correctly. Looking at your code, I do
    not see anything that appears incorrect. If you still have problem…
  • Hi Marlin,

    The PrintToDevices command essentially gives you complete control over the
    print process. This means that it is up to the developer to create and
    assign the device(s) to be printed to and manually initialize any pa…
  • Hi Marlin,

    When using the Archive Reader, you need to be sure you set the printer setup
    properties in the OnInitializePrinterSetup event. This ensures that the
    printer setup you define will be used for the entire archive bei…
  • Hi Jeroen,

    Try using the TppDrawCommand.Band property. I believe this property is set
    in the PropertiesToDrawCommand call of the TppComponent object which is an
    ancestor to every report control.

  • Hi Jerri,

    There can be many reasons that it will take a while for a report to load and
    print. Typically the culprate is accessing the data needed to generate the
    report. If your database is located on a separate server or yo…
  • Hi Jerri,

    ReportBuilder does not directly interact with any printer drivers. It uses
    generic Windows API commands which in turn communicate with each driver. If
    you save one of these reports on your local hard drive and load…
  • Hi Jerri,

    Does every report take this long to load? If not, what is different about
    these reports than any others? Are the reports located on your local hard
    drive? As a test try pausing the application during the time it s…
  • Hi Luis,

    This is not a known issue. I would first suggest updating your version of
    ReportBuilder to the latest RB 7 version (7.04). For updating instructions,
    please send your serial number and purchasing email address to

  • Hi Giovanni,

    At design time ReportBuilder will always default to either a Letter or A4
    page size based on the default decimal separator you are using on your
    machine. If you need a different size than the default, you will cu…
  • Hi Jacques,

    This is not a known issue with ReportBuilder. I would first suggest
    upgrading your version of ReportBuilder to the latest (RB 10.08) and see if
    you get better results. Another thing to try would be to comment out…
  • Hi Jan,

    It is our understanding that in order to comply with the PDF/A standards, we
    would need to enhance the PDF device to support embedded fonts. This is a
    feature we are strongly considering for the next major release of …
  • Hi Laurent,

    I would suggest trying Gnostice for the time being. The next major release
    of ReportBuilder will include drastically enhanced PDF export capabilities.

  • Hi Pierre,

    For future reference, please post using your real name rather than "Hva".

    Currently advanced RB components such as Barcodes and RichTexts are first
    converted to bitmaps before being exported to the PDF file. T…
  • Hi Jim,

    This is not a known ReportBuilder issue however you might try contacting
    Waler support directly to see if they have heard of it. Have you tried
    using the built-in PDF device?

  • Hi Milan,

    If you are using a monochrome printer, you will need to be sure to set the
    PrinterSetup.CanGrayScale property to False before printing your report.
    This will ensure every color (except white) will be converted to bla…

  • Hi Andrew,

    Please create a simple example I can run on my machine that demonstrates the
    issue and send it in .zip format to support@digital-metaphors.com. I'll try
    to recreate the problem on my machine and possibly track down…
  • Hi Andrew,

    Please upgrade your version of ReportBuilder to the latest (10.09) and test
    with that. Send an email to info@digital-metaphors.com with your serial
    number and purchasing email address for upgrade instructions.
  • In my testing, placing an image into the header band of a 6 page report only
    saved the image once to the PDF file when exported. Where are the images
    you are using originating (i.e. database or file)? If you create a simple
    examp…
  • Hi Andrew,

    From your previous post I noticed you were setting the OptimizeImageExport
    property to False. Setting this to True should keep track of identical
    images exported and only add them once to the PDF file.

  • Hi Jeremy,

    Take a look at the following article. You can use the OnPrintDialogClose
    event of the ArchiveReader to determine whether the user printed or selected
    to cancel.

  • Hi Rob,

    In this case, the issue is most likely due to a loss of resources or a
    memory leak. Try running your application through a memory manager such as
    AQTime or FastMM and see if you can find where the problem is occuring.…
