Metafile is invereted party

Hi,

I just found this site. G R E A T E

I tried it out and have only one problem

I work in Hebrew.

When rendering a metafile the wording appears inverted.
ABCD in the MetaFile appears as DCBA in the PDF

The code
procedure TForm1.AmnonClick(Sender: TObject);
var
_MetaFile:tMetaFile;
i:integer;
begin
_MetaFile:= tMetaFile.create;
with TPdfDocumentGDI.Create do begin
try
Canvas.RightToLeftText:= true;
ScreenLogPixels:= 300;
for n:= 1 to 1 do begin
_MetaFile.LoadFromFile(format('f:\EMF%d.emf',[n]));
with AddPage do begin
Canvas.RenderMetaFile(_MetaFile);
end;
SaveToFile('f:\Syntest.pdf');
end;
finally
free;
end;
end;
end;

Please advice how I can attach files. I'd like to attach the EMf+PDF files

thanks

Did you enable Uniscribe?

Thanks for answering so fast.

I enabled UniScribe.

see in my code

Canvas.RightToLeftText:= true;

could not compile otherwise

Hi again,

I debuged then component

After changing line 7798 in SynPDF the problem was solved

Canvas.RightToLeftText := true;// R.emrtext.fOptions and ETO_RTLREADING<>0;

Thanks VERY much

My concern about this modification is that it won't work with left to right languages any more!

Why is ETO_RTLREADING not set in your metafile?

I'm sorry for delay. I was too busy.

I have no idea what's the problem. and I was under time pressure to get results.

When working with left to write language the conditionals will take care of the user. The code is not generated at all.

Apropos, did anyone prepare a dll so the functionality will be usable in delphi 5 or any other language?
