Some problem during demo evaluation

[Péter Stock]

Hello Marat,

I'm evaluating your FRX2Any Demo version - VFP 8. My company has an old version of this (we have: v12.06.01) and I want to know is this newer version is handling some PDF problems what we have.

I just checked that, to show my Report with picture in PDF, I have to change the picture relative path to Full path before:

USE (lcReportFullName) IN 0 ALIAS tmpreport

SELECT tmpreport

REPLACE picture WITH '"'+FULLPATH(picture)+'"' FOR objtype = 17 

USE

This problem is not in our version. Information: our old developer changed lot in the FRX2Any code for make a well working version so that can happen he handled this error. 

Is there any way that you handle this in this new version? Because, if we buy this, I would not like to create a temporary report what I can update to handle this issue.

I found an other issue (in our version this problem also there): if I use a field in my report with "Strech with overflow" on screen it shows well but in PDF the texts are overlapping each other with the text field below.

Is this a known issue? Will you handle this in the future?

Hi Peter

When you try to convert embedded report (included into EXE/APP) using Compiled version of FRX2Any (FRX2Any.APP) - you must exclude report form EXE/APP

by creating temp report file, and that is why you developer was doing.  

If you do not like to do that, you need initially keep reports out of EXE/APP, or update FRX2Any SINGLE edition to FRX2Any DEVELOPER edition, which you will need to compile into your APP/EXE. In the last case no report extraction (creating temp report) required.

Hi Marat,

I have to keep my reports in EXE, so the handling remain this. I think we have the DEVELOPER edition.

About the other problem: "I found an other issue (in our version this problem also there): if I use a field in my report with "Strech with overflow" on screen it shows well but in PDF the texts are overlapping each other with the text field below.

Is this a known issue?"   Will you handle this in the future?

Hi Peter

If you have a DEVELOPER edition you should not have any problem with conversion of the embedded reports. All you need to do is to compile FRX2Any source code  into the same EXE.

For the report fields with option "Stretch with overflow" it works fine in v.14.08.04 se attached omages below:

 Hi Marat,

Thank you for your checking of my problem.

Sorry that I was not exact, where is this Strech with overflow is problematic:
In your Detail group it does not come up with this type of problem as there are no other field under the overflowing field in the same group.
This problem came up for me in Header group (and found this also in other groups).
In this group we usually put lot of fields UNDER each other.

I show it (sorry, this is not an english language report):
Report Header, first field:

Report Header, second field:

on Screen it shows (personal data masked):

on FRX2Any PDF it shows:

So where the "1. A munkáltató...." second field starts you can see the first field text overlaps the second field.

Regards,
Peter

Hi Peter

Could you attach report (zipped FRX and FRT files) to your message?

Hi Marat

I attached (unimportant parts are deleted).
m.sv_felso must be longer text than 700 char

Hi Peter

Those 2 fields are overlapped. Try to keep small gap between them, and this should resolve the issue:

Hi Marat,

Thank you very much. I have to let 1 px gap between the two fields and this works. This also works in our version.
So this is different than the working method of printer. I continue the evaluation.
