Best practise for large rich texts
Dear all, I need to create the report which contains some small header and footer filled by the application data but the main part is static formatted text. The whole document has about 20 pages. When I create the report using the formatted text field it 1) takes very long time to generate because 2) the formatted text is rendered as an image (so user cannot copy the formatted text) and 3) the result file is huge (about 1MB per page with print optimize option, without print optimize it is smaller but the text has very poor quality).
What is the best way to create this kind of report? Or am I missing some FR feature which enables to create the rich text content not as an image?
Can I for example create in advance a PDF static part in some other sowftware and include it into the final report?
If this problem is solved somewhere with some working example, please give me the link.
Thank you, Petr

For example creating a PDF of an invoice which gets sent to a customer. There is no necessity to see that on the screen.
ypo can preset the properties of the printer driver to send emails but this just brings up the default mail program where manually enter email addresses or select from address book. so it is not good for large quantities.
the other option is to email fp3 files and supply the end user with an fp3 viewer.
Thank you again for your help.
PDFExport pdfExport = new PDFExport();

Report report = new Report();

MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
report.Export(pdfExport, stream);
