ReportPrinter Pro to PDF

rodrigofarias77 · 2012-02-07 18:26:09

Hello gents,

I am trying to generate a PDF based on a ReportPro's TCanvas. How can I use a custom canvas in TPdfDocumentGDI? Would you recommend another approach?

Thanks,

Rod

Save your report into a TMetaFile, then "play" this metafile content into a SynPDF canvas.
This works very well.

I did some research, but I am not sure yet how to save it as a TMetaFile... As far as I understood, it is possible to convert a TMetaFile into a canvas with TMetafileCanvas. But I guess we want the other way around, since I can get a TCanvas from ReportPro.

I suppose you are talking about using TPdfDocument.Canvas.RenderMetaFile here.

Thanks again,

The TCanvas from ReportPro is to draw on the report.

Which product do you call ReportPro?
Is it QuickReport?
Someone already asked this question: http://synopse.info/forum/viewtopic.php?id=138
You'll find here some code about how to render the report into pdf.

No, it is the predecessor of Rave Reports:

I learned the Pdf.Canvas.RenderMetaFile trick there, but could not find yet the equivalent to QuickRep.QRPrinter.GetPage (which returns a TMetaFile) in ReportPro.

Thanks,

I do not know ReportPro at all, sorry...

Perhaps could you ask Nevrona for support?

Oh no problem. You gave me all the important steps after I get a TMetaFile out of ReportPro.

Thanks a lot,
