Hi, everybody,

According to my client requirement, they need 2 more options on rpreivew.prg

- one key to pdf preview for email purpose
- go to particular page # (it is very useful if the reports has few hundred pages)

I have read from previous posts some FWH user using image2pdf on preview or "go to page #" function

Can someone share experience or examples for me.

Thanks a lot

my email is kkyung@autonet.com.hk

Hello Kkyung,

You could try FastReport.

This topic shows how to use the “Outline feature”.

To send emails is a standard option in FastReport.

Best regards,

Kkyung,

IMAGE2PDF is an excellent add on to email a previewed report

I have sent to your email a copy of rpreview modified so you can see the changes and a screen hard copy of the preview

I have been using it for several years now, it works great

It is now possible to add additional buttons and additional functionality to RPreview, without modifying and recompiling RPreview.prg.

We can place this code at any place in our program before using RPreivew or preferably at the beginning of the program

Code: Select all  Expand view

  RPrevUserBtns( { |oPreview, oBar| ReportExtend( oPreview, oBar ) } )
 

and the function ReportExtend:

Code: Select all  Expand view

function ReportExtend( oPreview, oBar )

   DEFINE BUTTON OF oBar ;
      RESOURCE 'SAVE' ;  // from our resource or bitmap file
      TOOLTIP 'Save To PDF' ;
      ACTION Preview2PDF( oPreview )

   DEFINE BUTTON OF oBar ;
      RESOURCE 'MAIL' ; // from our resource or bitmap file
      TOOLTIP 'Mail PDF as Attachment ' ;
      ACTION Preview2Mail( oPreview )

return nil
 

Now these two buttons appear in the RPreview as if it is a part of the Preview. There is no need to alter RPreview program and recompile

Dear Mr.Rao,

It is now possible to add additional buttons and additional functionality to RPreview, without modifying and recompiling RPreview.prg.

That is a great information.
