ZugFerd-Attachment withou a path?

Hi,

we are using RB 23.01 to make ZugFerd-PDF-Files. The code is simple:

MyReport.DeviceType := dtPDFA3ZUGFeRD; MyReport.PDFSettings.Attachments.Clear; MyReport.PDFSettings.Attachments.Add(MyZugferdFile);

The Problem is, that we can see the path of the ZugFerd-file in the PDF.

Is there any option to clear or the change this path?

Thanks in advance

  • Hi Gerd,

    This is not a known issue. In my testing with the following code, the ZUGFeRD xml invoice was attached to the PDF as a single file as expected.

    I first suggest upgrading to RB 23.03 to ensure you are using the latest release. Then, please create a simple example demonstrating this behavior and send it to support@digital-metaphors.com so we can research what is happening.
    begin
    ppReport1.DeviceType := dtPDFA3ZUGFeRD;
    ppReport1.PDFSettings.Attachments.Clear;
    ppReport1.PDFSettings.Attachments.Add('c:\Temp\factur-x.xml');

    ppReport1.Print;
    end;
    Best Regards,

  • Hello Nico,

    thank you for your answer. Perhaps I didn't explain that correctly. My english is not so good.

    The problem is in the PDF-file. When you examine in Acrobat Reader the attachment "factur-x.xml" you can see the path "c:\Temp". And I don't want to have this path in the PDF.

    Thanks in advance

  • Hi Gerd,

    No problem, I believe I understood you correctly. Using the code I posted, the file inside Adobe Acrobat is a single file without a path included. Below is a screen shot of the Attachments section of Acrobat on my machine.

    I will need to see an example of this to track down any issues.

  • Hello Nico,

    thanks again for your support. I made a few tests. In PDF-files from Delphi 10.3 or higher there is no descricption. So you are right. Unfortunately I have several PDF-files which are created with Delphi 7. And there is a description in the file.

    Same code, different behaviour.

    Okay, I think there's no further support for Delphi 7. Or can you change the output with D7?

    Thanks in advance
