Synopse PDF Engine 1.8.1

Our PDF engine has been updated, it's now on version 1.8.1.

Features added by contribution of REDDWARF / ONDREJ - THANKS!

Here are the modifications:
  - new feature: allow forced JPEG compression for graphics;
  - new feature: UNDERLINE + STRIKEOUT support (also in RICH TEXT and rotated text !);
  - new USE_SYNGDIPLUS conditional if you want to use the default jpeg unit instead of our SynGdiPlus (but you loose TIF, PNG, and GIF support);
  - enhanced: PenWidth changed to Single -> better precision (e.g. for underlined text);
  - fix issue: Rotated text was misplaced for some angles;
  - some small fixes about FillRect() + scaling, and move/line stroke.

REDDWARF / ONDREJ shared a very good work - I just made some code refactoring.
Amazing contribution, in all cases. Hope will be useful.

Re: Synopse PDF Engine 1.8.1

I've trying insert two images and it show error: AddXObject: dup name Syn -1. Only 1 image works. I have 1.8.1 version

My code:

with pdf do
  try
    info.Title := Application.Title;
    info.Author := 'OttoBock';
    DefaultPaperSize := psA4;

    pdfPagina := AddPage;

    VCLCanvas.Font.Name := 'Arial';
    VCLCanvas.Font.Size := 24;
    VCLCanvas.Font.Style := [fsBold];
    i := VCLCanvas.TextWidth(lblProdNombre.Caption);

    VCLCanvas.TextOut((VCLCanvasSize.cy-i) div 2, 20,lblProdNombre.Caption);

    VCLCanvas.Draw(10,50,imgProd.Picture.Graphic);

    VCLCanvas.Draw(10,VCLCanvasSize.cx - imgTabla.Picture.Graphic.Height - 50,imgTabla.Picture.Graphic);

    SaveToFile(DirExe + 'DAT\temppdf.pdf');

Re: Synopse PDF Engine 1.8.1

That sounds like a regression introduced by the last update...
I'll try to find how to get it work.

It should be fixed now. I've uploaded the unit with a correction.

Please try with your code and confirm it works as expected.

Great job, man!

I hope it can extract meta data from an existing PDF!

Re: Synopse PDF Engine 1.8.1

I'm not sure I understand you, edwinsn... "extract meta data" i.e. reading a PDF and browse its content? It's not difficult to do, but the purpose of our unit is to PRODUCE such files, not read them.

You'll need to write a parser of PDF files, and create all objects according to it. It's not difficult with our framework, you have all needed objects, but you'll have to write the parser itself.
