Hi Felix,
Based on your description, it may be that the issue is only caused by new reports added while your application is open. In this case, it's possible the dataset is not refreshed and the ItemID is (temporarily) incorrect. Try se… -
Hi Felix,
Very old versions of ReportBuilder included the ability to assign a separate pipeline to the detail band. This ability was removed with the introduction of Subreports, which is now the way to connect multiple pipelines to a sin… -
Hi Felix,
This is not a known issue with the latest version of ReportBuilder.
As you mentioned, the issue appears to be when the FListView.FolderID is -1. ReportBuilder does not explicitly set the FolderID to -1 so it must be … -
Hi Jan,
Generally, DataPipelines in ReportBuilder are meant to be used in the following way:TDataset ==> TDataSource ==> TppDBPipeline ==> TppReport
"SQLQuery" i… -
Hi Jan,
Rather than defining new fields for the new pipeline, try re-assigning the Datapipeline property of the existing fields. Be sure the AutoCreateFields property is set to False for the new pipeline.
Something like the fo… -
Hi Tommy,
Try using an event that fires after the RichText has printed (overflowed) such as the OnEndPage. This is to ensure the CalcSpaceUsed routine has been executed and the first and last character have been defined for the given pag… -
Hi Giacomo,
RB 20 is fairly outdated. Please update to the latest version of ReportBuilder and retest.
Later versions of ReportBuilder also allow the use of the the multi-page viewer without a background thread. -
Hi Giacomo,
This is not a known issue.
1. Which version of ReportBuilder are you using?
2. Does the issue occur when loading the .rtm file or when previewing the report?
3. If previewing, try setting the R… -

Hi Bohdan,
SVG is currently not natively supported by the DBImage in ReportBuilder. This is primarily due to the fact that the TSkSvgGraphic class is located in the implementation section of the Vcl.Skia unit making it inaccessible to ou… -
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…
