Matching margins/pages to a pdf

Post by jimmaguire »

I use IIPDFLib to create PDF's and I am having a problem where the pdf has page breaks and margins different from either the richviewedit print preview or the new ScaleRichView. I switched to ScaleRichView hoping it would match the pdf more closely, and it does, but still has differences.

I can send an example where ScaleRichView shows the document as one page, but it shows the pdf generated via IIPDFLib in Acrobat Reader as two pages.

I know you do not support IIPDFLib, but I believe the problem may be that I have to first create an RTF before it will create the PDF.

Would switching to TRichViewPDF match what ScaleRichView shows more exactly? Any other suggestions? Thanks!

Any PDF lib (working with TRichView) can be used, but they must be used differently. The existing demos use TRVReportHelper to create page image for PDF. But for WYSIWYG you need to use ScaleRichView's methods.
We will create a demo soon.

Thanks!

Thanks so much! Works fantastic, much faster than going to a rtf first and most importantly, the pdf looks just like the rvf!

Left border of table gets trimmed from pdf

Post by jimmaguire »

The left border of a table gets trimmed from pdf if its left justified. I get around this problem by centering tables that are used as layout templates for our documents.

Not a huge problem, since centering solves it.

I sent the email to you and to proxy3d@inbox.ru. I sent to his email address I got when I bought the package, but it was returned. Is there another address I should use besides the proxy?
