Textprocessing and Printing to PDF

[Helmut Hort]

Hi all,

 

I want to implement a text processing and printing (to rtf/to pdf) component into my web application. Unihtmlmemo is a good beginning. Has anyone an idea of how to print the written htmltext to a pdf-file? Or is there another way of achieving that goal, perhaps with other components working together with unigui?

 

 

Yours

This question is not about UniGUI. Just use any report generator with export to pdf, i.e. FastReport.

Hi Zilav,

 

I don't believe that fast reports is the solution because my endusers are not capable of serving a report generator. I need something like zoho or MS Live Office but as a component to use with unigui in my own application and not somewhere in the cloud.

Endusers will need only browser, all modern report systems work with web. Or you can always write your own report web service. I for example wrote ISAPI module using FastReport that gets template name and parameters from url and generates pdf. So when I need to print anything from my UniGUI apps, I just show an UniLabel with corresponding url, thats it. FastReport Server does exactly the same, but I found it much easier to write my own report server.
