create pdf from delphi

Post by plamen_f »

Hello!

I'm trying to use our windows app under wine (writed on Delphi) . It works fine except reporting.
We use quickreport (it works also fine) and drirectly from it we can generate pdf using 3-rd party components.
Usualy we use synopse synPdf engine. It can generate pdf, but the pdf is blank under wine. Wnen we mark with mouse inside generated document - we can see that there are text boxes with text, but with white collor.

We discuss this win component supplier:

http://synopse.info/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2056

but the result is the same.

Anyway I tested report pdf generation under wine with other commercial products, but no hope...
Using debenu the result is 0bytes pdf, testing gnostice and versyPdf - app only crashes.

Is the someone who can give an idea for solution please?

Sory for my bad english!

10x in advance!

You didn't mention what Wine version you're using. If it's not the latest development release, upgrade. If the problem with SynPDF is still present in current Wine, file a bug for it.

Why don't you just write a script to automate the mailing?
