Export text from TadvRichEditor to PDF

VCL TMS VCL UI Pack
1

Hi,
I've just tested your demo application which demonstrates capabilities to create PDF from text displayed in TAdvRichEditor.

There are some curious aspects of result PDF I would like to discuss:

  1. Is it bug?
    This is how it looks in application:

This is how it looks in result PDF (name Enzo is divided into two rows):

  1. Result PDF document has strange size:
    Using copy/paste from TAdvRichEditor to word I created new document, which was exported to PDF. It looks quite different than PDF document created directly from application - button Generate Pdf.

Hi,

We are able to reproduce this issue here and are currently investigating this. Due to the nature of this issue it can take up some time to find a solution.

Hi,

We have applied a fix, next version of TMS VCL UI Pack will address this.

Hi, that's great!

Have you also fixed the functionality connected with different sizing of generated PDF? It was mentioned as the second problem...

7

Sizing of fonts, margins, paper size, can you provide me with some more details?

8

Just compare examples of PDF document.
First - generated from RTF Editor to Wotd then exported to PDF - has normal (which is correct) size od fonts, images and line spacing...
Second - generated directly from RTF editor to PDF- has all aspects of document enlarged. I think this is also bug. Or is there any setting which can change this default sizing?

TAdvRichEditor does not support the full Word RTF feature set, hence, differences are possible.

OK, I understand, TAdvRichEditor can't be so powerfull as Word is.
But, can you explain me why there are also differences in size of images, fonts and line spacing when I compare the same document (from example) displayed in TAdvRichEditor and PDF generated directly from TAdvRichEditor?

I just want the functionality of keeping the same apperance which I see in TAdvRichEditor also in PDF document...

A PDF canvas uses a completely different DPI than the screen DPI.
This is by design because a PDF needs to render the same on many different screen DPIs as well as printer DPI when it is being printed.

OK, thanks for answers.

Is the fixed functionality already in version v13.1.9.0?

The latest version v13.1.9.0 has already improvements in this area yes.
