ways to save report to a file and easily open

[Otto]

Evans,

There is also another tool provided by PDF995. It's called "pdf995 Standard Encryption.exe". This accepts parameters to open any file, encrypt it with password, 64-128 bit algorithm, set properties for printing, copying, where to save the encrypted file and even under what filename, etc., all by passing parameters through our xHB/FWH program!

Would you be so kind to post an example how to use pdf995 Standard Encryption.exe.

Thank in advance
Otto

I found out how it works:

Code: Select all

 winexec( "C:\Program Files\pdf995\res\utilities\signature995\Pdf995 Standard Encryption.exe  C:\pdftest\on@aon_at.pdf C:\pdftest\on@aon_at.pdf  hotel hotel 10100000 128")

Best regards,

Hi,
I suggest you to take a look at FastReport http://www.paritetsoft.ru/frh.htm
It is easly integrable in a FWH app and supports a lot of export formats - excel, word, openoffice write, openoffice calc also.

It runs with a SINGLE self.contained dll.
I previously used - as you - different components toghether to manage the reports and provide all features to my customers (Easypreview for the preview, Amyuni for the .doc export, irfanview for some graphics formats not supported by Easypreview) but it became difficult to manage and upgrade all components (We have about 5,500 customers). Using FastReport I replaced all of this with just a dll !!

It is also a report used from a lot of delphi programmers and this is a warranty for us about the future release - see http://www.fast-report.com

Hope this can help you. However on the paritetsoft website there are a lot of FWH samples and a trial report version.

Hi,
One of our customers asked me if fwh app can offer a way to save a report to a file, email it to his customers and his customers can open the file and print it in a easily way.
Now they print out then send a fax to his customer, but fax not 100% reliable.

Hello Marco,
thank you for your advice and suggestion.

Do I need fast-report to create and design the reports?

Hello Marco,
I had had a look at demofrh.exe.
This designer tool looks good.

Maybe fastreport could provide an export or convert of the fr3 files to vrd files.

Best regards,

The designer is included into the FastReport self-contained dll.
You can activate the designer with a simply fwh call.
In my opinion this designer is really good as you can check but a bit compicated for the end-user.

As I know there isn't a feature to convert a fr3 (Fast Report file) into a vrd (ReportDesigner Report file),
but you can ask to Timm about this.
