PDF Export from Default Preview Not Working

edited April 2015 in FastReport VCL 5
Hi

I am using Fast Report 5.2 in Delphi XE7.

I have a form with a TfrxReport component and a TfrxPDFExport component on it. The ShowDialog property of the PDFExport component I set to True. I also have some code that loads and shows a report using the standard "built in" preview.

Example:
    Form1.frxReport1.LoadFromFile('Example.fr3');
    Form1.frxReport1.PrepareReport(True);
    Form1.frxReport1.ShowReport;

The report then shows in the built-in preview - no problem. The "Save as PDF File" option under the "Save" menu is visible in the preview, as is the "Quick Export to PDF" button on the toolbar. However, if you click either the "Save as PDF File" or the "Quick Export to PDF" button, nothing happens. There is no dialog, no error message, no output file - nothing.

If I set the FileName property on the TfrxPDFExport component to "Test.pdf" at design time and then try to export to PDF from the preview again, it creates the PDF export file in the current folder without a problem, but is does so silently (i.e. it doesn't show the Save As dialog, even though the ShowDialog property is True).

Can anyone else perhaps confirm that this is a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

    TRy to use latest FR 5.5.11. If error still exists - create and send demo project to support@fast-report.com

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
