Quality property does not work for v5

The Quality property for TfrxPDFExport does not work for FastReport v4.
Since there seems no further updates for v4, I tried v5 (v5.1.2.18).

With the v5, there is still the bug for Quality property. Even if I change the Quality (e.g. 20%), the PDF is always exported as 100% Quality.

How do other people treat this bug? Any workaround?

    Thank you for your reply.

    I am using FastReport with RadStudio XE4. For XE4, v5.1.2.18 is the latest.

    With my current licensing style for FastReport, I cannot get the v5.2.3 (through an agency company, which has some delay for the update). So I cannot confirm whether or not v5.2.3 is fixed for this bug.

    So, I decided not to use PDFExport function, instead to use BMPExport function and zip it to reduce the file size.

    Modify frxExportPDF.pas
          { Write XObject with a picture inside }
    
          Jpg := TJPEGImage.Create;
    
          try
            if (Obj.ClassName = 'TfrxBarCodeView') or
               (Obj is TfrxCustomLineView) or
               (Obj is TfrxShapeView) then
            begin
              Jpg.PixelFormat := jf8Bit;
              Jpg.CompressionQuality := FQuality + 5;  //change this line
            end
            else
            begin
              Jpg.PixelFormat := jf24Bit;
              Jpg.CompressionQuality := FQuality;  //change this line
            end;

    Thank you very much for your code.

    This is my first time to update FastReport(third party software's) source file.

    To reflect the modification of the source, what should I do?

    I re-build my project file. But, of course, it did not reflect the modification of the frxExportPDF.pas

    I found the way to rebuild the package.

    There is an execution file named "recompile.exe" under FastReport folder. With it, I could reflect the modification.

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.
