Hi Jeroen,
In my quick testing, I was able to determine the total number of columns using a TppVariable with LookAhead set to True.
My test contains two integer TppVariables in the column footer, both set to calc on Start Colum… -
Hi Jeroen,
ReportBuilder is not designed to automatically handle this type of page arrangement.
One option you might explore is creating an A3 sized report (landscape) with A4 sized columns. This way each "page" would contain … -
Hi Andrew,
We are only able to support the latest version of ReportBuilder. Please update to the latest (23.02) and retest. If you are still having the same issue, send a copy of the image to support@digital-metaphors.com and we will re… -
Hi Andrew,
Unfortunately we do not have much control over how various printer drivers handle image processing.
I first recommend upgrading to the latest version of ReportBuilder and see if that helps. There was an enhancement … -
Hi Carsten,
No, ReportBuilder does not have the ability to detect whether an existing PDF file is PDF/A or not. One would need to extract the Metadata section of a PDF file and read the xml values to determine this. -
Hi Carsten,
File compression is permitted in PDF/A. The issue is likely how PDFium is converting your original PDF to metafile. For most fonts, PDFium will simply draw each character as a vector graphic. It is an unfortunate result of … -
Hi Omar,
This is not a known issue with the latest version of ReportBuilder. Please create a simple example using only RB and Delphi components that recreates the problem and send it in .zip format to support@digital-metaphors.com so we … -
The rbRegBds.dcr file has never been part of the RB install as it is only needed for building Delphi design-time packages/components (which is not something we recommend or support). That being said, it should be included in the installed library.<…

Hi Andrew,
EMF files (Enhanced MetaFiles) are sets of Windows GDI commands that render an image as vector graphics. This means that while the original height and width of the EMF is large, the accuracy will not change when it is resized … -
Hi Carsten,
There is only one component to use, the TppPDFComponent. Treat this as a section style subreport and place it inside an empty report with a detail band only.
Next, load the existing PDF file into the PDFComponent a… -

Hi Carsten,
ReportBuilder does not support direct PDF/A conversion.
Using RB 21 or later, it would be possible to use the PDFComponent to load an existing PDF into an empty report, then export that report (as PDF/A) to file as … -
Hi Goran,
Unfortunately, there is limited action we can take regarding the TRichView component, as it is an independent third-party add-on that leverages our extensible architecture. Any features it supports, or does not support, within R… -
Hi Josef,
Yes, the space savings for vectors (text, shapes, lines, etc.) would be minimal when converted to greyscale, ~hundreds of bytes at best.
A larger amount of space could be saved when exporting greyscale images (bmp, pn… -
Hi Josef,
It is currently not possible to export a color report as a greyscale or black and white PDF. I will add this to our list of possible enhancements for a later release. Thanks for the feedback. -
Hi Andy,
Starting with RB 21, you can use the PDFComponent to add existing PDF files to a report. The PDFComponent can be found on the "Advanced Components" toolbar in the designer. See the following article and help topics for more inf… -
Hi Andy,
If you are getting every detail record for each master record, it is likely the two datasets are not linked on a common field (JOBNO).
If you are creating your datasets in DADE, the linking is done visually in the data… -
Hi Andy,
Setting the visibility of a DataPipeline does not disconnect it from data. It will only hide the pipeline from the DataTree and Report Data window when designing a report.
If you would like to disconnect a report from… -
Hi Dusten,
Use the TppViewer.OnEndGenerate event to determine when the page cache has finished. From there, you can re-attach the DrawCommandClick events. Access the viewer using the Report.PreviewForm property.in Disable OnDrawCommandClick while report is generating/calculating Comment by nicocizik July 30 -
Hi Charles,
Thanks for the further information.
>> there's already a handful of cases where this was done
Does this mean that this worked for an earlier version of ReportBuilder and is now broken? If so, pleas… -
Hi Charles,
To better assist you, it would be helpful to understand the final goal of this code. While it's possible to set the visibility of the Detail band, this should be done selectively to conditionally hide specific details when nec… -
Hi Giacomo,
This is not a known issue with RB 23. ReportBuilder contains numerous checks for infinite report scenarios however occasionally one slips through.
1. Recheck your field links to be sure you are not getting a cartes… -
Hi Costas,
We are in the process of researching why these files are installed with a size of 0KB. This, however, is inconsequential because the files affected are Delphi design-time only and should not be used with runtime applications. -
Hi Oliver,
ReportBuilder does not have a maximum stretchable height concept. Currently you would need to limit the number of lines shown in the memo component.
Thanks for the feedback, we will add this as a possible feature fo… -
Hi Igor,
Thank you for pointing this out. This is a scenario that was not considered when designing the Group.NewFile feature.
I sent you a patch that solves the problem. After applying the patch, there is no need to manually… -
The RAP .dcu files installed into the \RBuilder\Source\ directory are compiled in x86. Solve the issue by either changing your library path to \RBuilder\Lib\Win64\ or copying the x64 RAP .dcu files from \Lib\Win64 to \Source.

Hi Tim,
TClipboard is a Delphi class located in the VCL.Clipbrd file. It is not natively available in RAP (code workspace in ReportBuilder).
In order to access a Delphi feature such as this from RAP, a pass-thru function will … -
Hi Timothy,
This is not a known issue.
1. Be sure you are using the latest version of ReportBuilder.
2. Check the TppPageStyle.PageSetting property to be sure it is set to psAll. If you are loading templates, be sur… -
Hi Prakash,
First be sure you are using the latest version of ReportBuilder (23.01).
Please create a simple example demonstrating this issue using only RB and Delphi components. Send the example in .zip format to support@digita… -
Hi Mario,
I first suggest getting this working in Delphi before moving your code to RAP.
Access to the Engine.PageBottom and PrintPosRect is not directly possible in RAP. You will need to create a pass-thru function to retriev…
