Exporting PDF as memorystream

johnbt

In your FAQ, you have this sample:

frxReport1.PrepareReport;
s := TMemoryStream.Create;
frxReport2.SaveToStream(s);
s.Position := 0;
frxReport1.LoadFromStream(s);
frxReport1.PrepareReport;
frxReport1.ShowPreparedReport;

The above report only works for saving the FR3 report
to a stream.

How can I output a PDF as a memory stream instead
of saving it to a Filename?

Can the Basic and Standard version do this?

thanks,
John

PDF is PDF. If you need to save as mem stream just use frxReport.SaveToStream and dont' save it as PDF, didn't you?

As I said in the original post, the "SaveToStream" only saves the .FR3 report,
but I want the .PDF to be in the stream...

please advise.

thanks.

the easiest way I think is:
- prepare the report and save as PDF with unique file name
- load the PDF file created by FR as stream
- save the stream.
hope this help.

Can Fastreport add this functionality in the near future?
believe it is not too difficult to integrate this?

thanks.
