PDF Export in FR3

omik_1

As soon as i finished installing I got down to business immediatley, with particular focus on the frxPDFExport.

I however got an error when I tried the following code.


frxPDFExport1.FileName := 'c:\testfile.pdf';
frxPDFExport1.OpenAfterExport := True;

frxReport1.PrepareReport();
frxReport1.Export(frxPDFExport1)

What is the correct way to use the Exprot?

Your code works fine for me.

I keep getting AV and memory addresses.

I was checking and the demo does not have a frxExport on the main form while all other export filters are there.

AlexTZ

It is allowed because of:
procedure TForm1.FormShow(Sender: TObject);
begin
WPath := ExtractFilePath(Application.ExeName);
Tree.Items[0].Item[0].Selected := True;
TfrxPDFExport.Create(nil);
end;

AlexTZ

You may get AV because report is empty (load it by LoadFromFile before running).

This was the code with a loaded report that keep giving AVs.

frxPDFExport1.FileName := 'c:\testfile.pdf';
frxPDFExport1.OpenAfterExport := True;
frxReport1.LoadFromFile('c:\reportfile.fr3')
frxReport1.PrepareReport();
frxReport1.Export(frxPDFExport1)

THis code works fine

frxReport1.LoadFromFile('c:\reportfile.fr3')
frxReport1.ShowReport();

For testing purposes I opened the demo project and added a frxPDFExport component. Then I added a few lines to make the code look like this:

frxReport1.ShowReport;

//Export to PDF
frxPDFExport1.FileName := 'd:\newfile.pdf';
frxReport1.PrepareReport();
frxReport1.Export(frxPDFExport1);

With this code I would espect the selected report to bring up the preview once then export when the preview is closed.

Actually I got "List index out of bounds (1)" and I cant see why?

FR3 export to PDF not support CJK fonts.
So, I can't not view Chinese pdf files.

Hi,

I have used that code to generate a pdf file and works well, however the text doesn't stay justify in pdf file, which when I execute a preview form report the text is justify.
Anyboby have any ideia how to solve this problem?

Thank you
