Another bug drawing metafiles in pdf

betoneto.tbo · 2012-03-28 16:39:31

I created a filter implementation for QuickReport, to export the report to a PDF, using PdfEngine 1.15.

The example attached reproduces the bug.
Take a look at "Page1.emf" inside the zip, note that the metafile is correct, but when I play it to the pdf, the metafile imagens become larger...

Zip with sourcecode to reproduce the bug:

Thanks.

I'm not able to download the zip without registering, which I do not want to.

Did you use the latest version from SynPDF?
You may better retrieve the latest version from http://synopse.info/fossil
See http://synopse.info/fossil/wiki?name=Get+the+source

I`m using the latest version ...

Please try download from this one http://www.mediafire.com/?ftesmt6xm4k9r70

There are some background erasing which sounds not taken in account in the pdf enumeration.
The pictures are not bigger, they are not clipped / erased as with the emf.

You may use the EmfExplorer tool (see http://frazmitic.free.fr/emfexplorer/) to guess what is wrong.
Even this tool is not able to render the emf content correctly.

So I guess there is something tricky in the generated emf content.

Only one thing I do not understand ....

Printing the report from QuickReport with PDFCreator printer, all is well. The resulting PDF becomes correctly.

There is no possibility to make a work around? I don`t want to "hunt" this bug over QuickReport, it sucks!

Thanks!

The EMFExplorer tool is able to 'unserialize' the emf content into a list of GDI commands.

You'll certainly be able to find out which elements are not rendered as expected.

Then you can report here which kind of EMF commands have a problem.

OK, I found the image problem, but only it, using the EMF Explorer.

If you open the generated PDF with that EMF, you will able to see others bugs:
- image size (barcode image)
- rectangles drawed in incorrect positions

This is not about image size, but image crop, I think.

Are the cropping functions visible in EMF Explorer GDI commands lists handled by the code?

This ?

You cannot download my source code and take a look ?
