FastReport: PDF export

[Marco Turco]

Hi all,
I'm succesfully using Fastreport (spirin class) for my FWH apps.
I need to provide my customers a function to export in PDF just some pages of the report.
I know the method FrPrn:SetProperty("RTFExport","FileName",cfile) but it exports all the report, not single pages.
Any ideas ? Thanks in advance.

This is not a good solution but maybe you can create a new report that only shows the pages you want exported to the PDF.

Hi James,
it's a bit complex that way.
I checked it is easy to generate an image file for each report page.
Do you know if there is a way to generate a PDF file from FW adding tiff or jpg files ?

Hi Otto,
I had a single FRH report with multiple letters inside.
My target was to estract each letter from the report, convert it in a PDF document and send each via email to the recipient.

To do this I have found the following solution:
- using the method oFRH:Calc("Page#") and adding 1 when each letter is added to the report I know which is the report page number where the letter start
- when the report is complete I export it in jpg using the jpeg export method. This method automatically create multiple jpg files with the page number (example tmp.1.jpg,tmp.2.jpg...)
- due the fact I know which is the starting page no. for each letter I also know which is the name of the jpg files related, so using the FWPDF class as Rao suggested I can create a PDF merging the jpg related to the single letters.
