Is it possible to use FNC PDF generator component in console applications with lazarus?

I tried but I got:
[FORMS.PP] ExceptionOccurred

Hi, 


In the unit LCLTMSFNCUtils, it registers a clipboard format neccessary for clipboard support in various FNC UI controls. You can try to comment the code in the initialization section and see if you can compile the application.

Commenting lines 4140-4144 in LCLTMSFNCUtils:

  CF_FNCRICHTEXTSTREAM := RegisterClipboardFormat('RichEditorText');
  CF_FNCSTREAM := RegisterClipboardFormat('TTMSFNCClipBoard.StreamFormat');
  CF_FNCBITMAP := CF_PICTURE;
  CF_FNCRTF := RegisterClipboardFormat(TTMSFNCClipBoard.GetFormat(TTMSFNCClipBoardFormat.cfRTF));
  CF_FNCHTML := RegisterClipboardFormat(TTMSFNCClipBoard.GetFormat(TTMSFNCClipBoardFormat.cfHTML));

I am able to use pdf generator in a console application.
Is there a better solution than commenting? Since I use pdf generator both in CLI and GUI applications and I would prefer to not modify the FNC sources.

Hi, 


We'll investigate if we can add a conditional define to automatically control when clipboard formats are registered.

Thanks.
