Hi Manos,
What would you like to happen when an image is larger than the page? Shrink
the image? Cut it off and overflow to the next page? What currently
happens? Does the image get cut off at the bottom of the page or is … -
Hi Nols,
ReportBuilder does not have the ability to convert a Word document to PDF.
I believe there are other utilities available that will do this for you.
Although I'm a strong advicate for always using ReportBuilder, you re… -
Hi Nols,
Forgive me, I'm still a bit unclear about what you would like to do. In
your application, if a user selects to send a report as an email, the email
feature will automatically export the report to PDF then send it in … -
Hi Nols,
After a little more research, I found that the authentication property was
added to support very old servers that give an error if an AUTH command is
sent. This leads me to believe that it would not help in your case… -
Hi Nols,
We have not seen this behavior before. This is a message sent by your mail
server to Indy either telling you that your login or password is incorrect
or perhaps that even trying to login before sending causes an erro… -
Hi Bernhard,
All the popup menus have been separated from their components and designers
since RB 9. It is now very easy to create and add your own popup menu for a
given component. Take a look at the ppPopupMenus.pas file, … -
Hi Bernhard,
Below are a couple examples that will get you on the right track with
customizing the designer in RB 10.
Hi Bernhard,
I would suggest trying out both products side by side to find out the speed
difference. Although we have not extensively tested ExtraDevices, I do not
believe there is much difference in the generation speed. Th…Hi Filip,
Which exact version of ReportBuilder are you using? There was a fix for
this bug in RB 7.04 that solved the issue of black images in most cases. If
you have a later version of Delphi, you might try downloading a tr…Be sure you have ppJPEG added to your uses clause.

Hi Carlson,
The language .dll's should be in the \Languages\ptb\... directory with the
extension .ptb. We changed the extension so multiple languages can be
installed on the same machine. See the ReadMe.doc file in the langu…Hi Carlson,
When you install ReportBuilder, you are given the option to install various
language files. If you did this, you should see the ptBR folder located in
the \RBuilder\Languages directory. Inside this folder are the…Hi Dominic,
Thanks for the feedback. The original version of this plugin displayed all
errors in an error box which made the "User Abort" error annoying to see
every time the user canceled an email. Now that we have implemen…Hi Dominic,
Currently it is possible to take control of the email button's OnClick event
by accessing the previewer toolbar. For the next release we added an email
button property to the PrintPreviewer making this much easier…Hi Everett,
I'm a bit unclear about what you mean by the "Max Rows". By default, a
report will traverse the entire dataset it is connected to unless otherwise
specified. What type of datapipeline are you using?

Since the TppVariable.Value property is a variant type, you should not have
to convert it from a string. I believe the variant class will recognize if
the value is not a valid number and throw an exception if it i…Hi Luis,
ReportBuilder does not have this functionality built in. I'm unsure if your
printer will accept escape commands or if you know the proper command to
send but below is a link to an example of how to do so created by o…Hi Isaac,
Please re-read my original post.

Digital Metaph…Hi Isaac,
Inside the Report.BeforePrint event, check that the ppReport.PrinterDevice
is not nil. If it isn't, you know that the report is being printed to the
printer and you can toggle the visibility of the objects you do no…Hi Victor,
The "Missing drivername property" error is not a ReportBuilder error. Which
connection type are you using to connect to your SQL Server DB? Are you
able to access data normally without using ReportBuilder or perha…Hi Asbj?rn,
You can prevent the pipelines from showing up in the report designer by
setting their Visibility property to False. I would suggest doing this
manually before the report is loaded.

Hi Carsten,
Are you able to increase the quality of the image output at runtime? The
PDF device converts the RichText drawcommand to a bitmap before exporting
it, is this the code you have altered? If you would like to send …Hi Carsten,
Currently the RB built-in PDF export device converts a richtext component to
a bitmap before it is exported to the PDF file. In most cases this reduces
the quality of the richtext component. One option would be t…Hi Shane,
This is functioning as designed. The report engine will continue to
generate details until space runs out on a page. Then, if the last detail
band cannot fit, it will regenerate on the next page essentially firing …Thanks Terry,
I will keep researching this issue and post here if I find anything.

Which edition of ReportBuilder are you installing? What are the exact
updates you made to your 2006 installation? Are you changing the default

Sorry, but I'm a bit confused by your code below. Is this working code?

The ppTypes.pas file includes some constants that provide the current
