PDF Export: RichEdit
Hi
I'm using fast reports for a while now this is the first time I'm having a problem and can't find a post for the solution.
I have a report that uses a Rich Edit when previewing or printing it looks right but when exporting to pdf the text goes blurry is there a property that needs to be changed or is it just the way rtf are exported to pdf thats causing the problem?
Can someone please help on this.
Thanks.

see the user manual for limitations of the export filters
There are a forecast when the pdf exporter will to export rich text as formated text and not bitmap? The size of final pdf is larger that when we use a external exporter like CutPdf (as a printer driver) . Another drawback is the fact the text cannot be copied/pasted from the final pdf (since it's an image) This feature will be very welcome.
we need this feature (PDF Export filter: export richtext as formated text) too.
Is there a chance that this feature becomes soon part of the pdf export filter?
Thx in Advance.
If you do the export with parsed character into a pdf we will buy the product, or if you need we can pay for this...

the best work around i have found is to use Nuance's (scansoft's) pdf printer driver
But may be you can ask the developers or give them a little hint (well actually a bigger [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> ) on this fact (needed feature)? We really need this feature because our generated pdfs are send to an archive system with fulltext index. So we need rtf as text and not as bitmap. Other tools or libs (e.g. wPDF or llPDFLib) can export the rtf to pdf as normal text but they have other annoying side effects. So we are glad to hear that fastreport can export rtf to pdf as text in near future. thx in advance. btw: "many have asked" - Isn't it a incentive for a company like yours?[/img]
and we would pay for it too.
It outputs the rtf fields as text so that it can get copied and indexed.
There is an exportfilter for FR which connects the report directly to eDocEngine. You have to contact support (which is outstanding!) to get a fixed version of the exportfile. The version we got in our download printed all page empty except the last one.
The previous version which we used had a speedproblem under Vista and Server 2003 which maybe was introduced by updating the library to Delphi 2009. I don't know if this is fixed in the actual version, if someone needs a fix for this PM me and i will supply instructions to fix the issue.
I'm not connected to Gnostice in any way, just a happy user
push too.
any news here? feature for FR 5?
