TMemo to PDF

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have 5 TMemo fields that store a variable amount of plain text data. Is there an "easy" way to convert the text to PDF? Theoretically a memo field could have more than 1 page worth of information and I need to start each memo field after each other, i.e. no automatic page breaks after each field.
TIA.

	Hi Luke! There's no automatic way inside QuickPDF. Why should it be inside (each language is a bit different)? Put your memo-fields in a stringlist. Get the number of stringlist entries. Check how many rows you want to have on each pdf-page. At least use DrawText or something similar from QuickPDF. Cheers, Ingo

	Thank you for the quick replay. Additional question: Is there any way to tell how many rows will fit assuming that I use the same font and font size for all rows?

	Hi! You have to do your own algorithm regarding this case. You know the dimensions (pixels) of your page. You can get the used font dimensions. Let's do some math ;-) An idea: What about the html-textbox-functions with wrapped text in QuickPDF? Perhaps you should investigate there... see the online reference.
