Search within exported PDF

rbuser

Hi,

Using RB 12.01, Delphi 2009.

Is there an option that I need to enable in order to search for text within
PDF files exported from Report Builder? At present it doesn't work -
whatever I search for is 'not found' even if it's clearly there on the page.

Thanks,

Steve Branley

Hi Steve,

Thank you for pointing this out. We are able to recreate this issue and are
currently researching a solution. A quick observation: This seems to only
affect Unicode enabled PDF files.

Upon further research, this is not a trivial enhancement. It requires the
modification and addition of numerous classes including changing the
interface section of some.

The ability to search and extract text from a Unicode enabled PDF file will
be included in the next minor release of ReportBuilder.

Thanks for the update. That at least allows me to respond to clients that
it's in the process of being fixed for a future release
