PDF export is disappointing!

We have recently purchased FastReport and developed several reports that we are very pleased with. Unfortunately, all of our reports get exported to PDF and the PDF export filter is a big disappointment. Rich text objects and vector graphic objects get rendered as bitmaps. The resulting bitmaps look terrible, even when using the "SmoothGraphics" option, which simply renders the bitmaps at a higher resolution and bloats the file size.

We are very happy with the printed output FastReports produces and we can print beautiful reports to Acrobat. But we have no acceptable way to export to PDF without printing to Acrobat, which is time consuming each time you need to output a report and cannot be done automatically (as far as I know!).

Can anyone out there suggest a work-around for this? We were very happy with the reports we generated, but the export filter is a deal-breaker.


Thanks!

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.
