Quick Reports can now be integrated with the Llion PDF VCL component to produce
complete PDF facsimiles of Quickreportdocuments. Two new methods of TQuickReport and TQRCompositeReport
- PrintToPDF( PDFDocument : TPDFDocument );
- StreamToPDF( PDFDocument : TPDFDocument, PDFStream : TMemoryStream );
allow PDF documents to be created in code as easily as doing a preview or printing a report.
The close integration means that ALL report elements are exported, making this the best PDF exporter
available for Quickreport.
In addition, the LLion TPDFDocument class offers the following features -
- Support for a wide range of character sets - Asian and Eastern European.
- Imported fonts - use Truetype fonts, embed fonts
- Image compression - selectable JPEG compression
- File protection - password protect PDF documents from copying.
- JavaScript - embed JavaScript in PDF to create active PDF documents.
The replacement files and sample code are available to Professional users
of Quickreportfree of charge - BUT you must also have a copy of the Llion TPDFDocument VCL component
.
The Llion PDFLib is available from www.qbssoftware.com, price from £195.
